Its approved from the Health Authority and by the experts, and also if the toxin exist in food it dosnt mean that food harming the health but we must first know how much this toxin exist in the food and how much we eat from this food before deciding is that food bad or good, so canola oil contain very few amount of erucic acid which not consider as toxin

Health concerns about canola oil are unfounded. Canola oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the canola plant, is generally recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.

Misinformation about canola oil may stem from the fact that the canola plant was developed through crossbreeding with the rapeseed plant. Rapeseed oil contains very high levels of erucic acid, a compound that in large amounts can be toxic to humans. Canola oil, however, contains very low levels of erucic acid.

Canola oil is also low in saturated fat and has a high proportion of monounsaturated fat, which makes it a healthy and safe choice when it comes to cooking oils.
