SUNFLOWER OIL
Sunflowers are one of the few crops native to the United States. According to some sources, indigenous people likely began to cultivate them around 1000 BC. Sunflower seeds probably didn't reach Europe until the 1800s. When sunflower seeds arrived in Russia, their oil content interested farmers. The farmers selectively bred the plants until they almost doubled the oil content of the seeds.
Today, sunflower oil is a food, a medicine, and a skin treatment. It is available in several forms, each with a different formula and with its own health benefits. Sunflower oil is a popular vegetable oil in the kitchen because of its mild flavor and high smoke point.

Microbiological Standards
Our refined oils and fats comply with the microbiological criteria for foodstuffs according to Commission Regulation (EC) 2073/2005.
Refined Oils and Fats undergo a sterilization step which renders them unsusceptible to the growth of microorganisms due to their low water activity levels. Additionally, Oils and Fats are deodorized according to FEDIOL Code of Practice (min 180°C for min 2 hrs), which effectively eliminates microbiological activity.
The Institute of Food Science and Technologies' "Microbial Criteria for Foods" (ISBN 0 905367 16 2) notes that pathogens should be absent in refined oils and 100% fat products packed under good hygienic conditions and that monitoring is not required.
