You ditched the canola oil from your pantry. Switched to avocado oil or olive oil for cooking. But then you looked at your pasta sauce. And your alfredo. And that cheese sauce in the back of the fridge.
Seed oils are everywhere in pre-made sauces. Here’s how to get rid of them without giving up flavor or convenience.
Where Seed Oils Hide in Sauces
Alfredo sauce is one of the worst. Most jarred alfredos use canola oil as the base with milk protein concentrate to make it feel creamy.
Cheese sauces almost always contain canola or soybean oil.
Pesto — even the expensive stuff — often uses sunflower or canola oil instead of olive oil.
Marinara is usually the safest. Most decent marinaras use olive oil.
Seed Oil Free Sauces You Can Actually Buy
For alfredo, Credo’s Roasted Garlic Alfredo uses cashew cream instead of canola oil. The Alfredo Rosa is the pink sauce version. Both are dairy-free and high in protein.
For cheese sauce, Credo’s Oat Milk Queso replaces the canola-oil-and-modified-starch formula with oat milk and real ingredients.
For marinara, look for brands that list olive oil as the only oil.
