Our take

CleanPlate review

Cold pressed canola oil with 8 g saturated fat

Jivo Cold Pressed Canola Oil is a 5 L (4.55 kg) pack of one ingredient, cold pressed canola oil, fortified with vitamins A and D. The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it CB4. The C for nutrition is middling: some vitamin A and vitamin D per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by cold pressed canola oil), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from calories (900 kcal per 100 g) and saturated fat (8 g per 100 g).
