<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Group, Ginia from Texas asked about the gluten-free status on canola oil. I found an article in the Spru-Nik Press from February/March 1996 which was posted in our bi-monthly celiac newsletter. "Canola Oil is gluten-free, but it is made from rapeseed which can have a laxative effect on some people. Those who have problems with it should avoid it . . . but not for fear of gluten." Hope this helps everyone. Cindy in NJ
