Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Cottonseed oil is safe with precautions during pregnancy when consumed in modest amounts as part of prepared foods. Commercial refining removes gossypol, making refined cottonseed oil non-toxic and microbiologically stable. However, cottonseed oil is higher in saturated fats than canola or olive oil and provides little micronutrient diversity. Prioritize less-processed, heart-healthy liquid oils for your daily home cooking.
