Why is Aceite de girasol refinado 0,2º classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additive does it contain?

Because it is a refined oil that undergoes multiple industrial steps such as bleaching, deodorisation and the addition of an anti‑foaming agent; the label lists E900 (dimethyl silicone) as the only additive.

Is this sunflower oil suitable for vegan, keto or other strict dietary patterns?

Yes, the ingredient list shows only plant‑derived oils and a vegan‑approved anti‑foaming agent, making it fully compatible with vegan and keto diets that emphasize high fat and low carbohydrate intake.

Should consumers be concerned about the anti‑foaming agent (E900) in this oil?

E900 is a food‑grade silicone used to prevent foaming during processing; it is approved by food safety authorities and considered safe at the low levels used, so it does not pose a health risk for the general population.
