Potential Warnings & Concerns

1. High Heat Stability: Vegetable oils (especially refined ones) can form trans fats or harmful compounds when heated to very high temperatures (e.g., deep frying). Overuse may contribute to cardiovascular risks.
2. Additives: Some Hacendado oils contain preservatives (e.g., TBHQ, BHA) or emulsifiers to extend shelf life. Check the label for exact ingredients.
3. Refined Processing: Refining removes natural antioxidants and nutrients, leaving a neutral-tasting oil but potentially less healthy than unrefined alternatives.
4. Sustainability: Cargill has faced criticism for deforestation-linked soy production in some regions. If sourced from controversial areas, this could be a concern for environmentally conscious consumers.
5. Allergens: Cross-contamination with soy, corn, or wheat is possible (common in processed oils).
