Shur Fine Vegetable Oil Cooking Spray — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Shur Fine Vegetable Oil Cooking Spray by Shur Fine OKAY — score 60/90.

It's basically refined soybean oil pushed out of a can with a little lecithin and a silicone anti-foaming agent. Short list, but it's a refined seed oil plus a propellant and an additive, not a whole food.

Why this verdict

• Refined soybean oil is the entire base, high in omega-6 and industrially processed
• Contains dimethyl silicone, an anti-foaming additive not found in plain oil
• Aerosol propellant and emulsifier make it a processed delivery system, not a whole food
• Short, recognizable list with no sugar, no artificial color, and no flavor enhancers

Ingredients (4)

• Soybean Oil (moderate) — Refined high-omega-6 seed oil used to fake creaminess
• LECITHIN (safe) — Natural emulsifier (usually from soy) that helps the oil spray evenly; generally harmless in these amounts.
• Dimethyl Silicone (anti-foaming agent) (moderate) — A food-grade silicone additive used to stop foaming; not harmful in trace amounts but it's a sign of an engineered, not whole, product.
• Propellant (moderate) — Compressed gas to push the oil out of the can; doesn't add nutrition and makes this an aerosol product rather than plain oil.
