It is on the back of the bottle we have - shouldn't be used in cooking for pregnant women or women trying to conceive.

Still prefer to use ground nut oil myself

That seems very odd. Especially as the NHS say do eat rapeseed oil when pregnant due to omega 3 levels :confused:

Is it virgin rapeseed oil? Maybe it's from America or certain parts of the EU and therefore is a GM variety?

We were advised at work by our dietary dept, to use Rapeseed oil for everything. Apparently, it's got the highest Omega 3 content, and they consider it to be the healthiest of all oils.
So, been using it for shallow frying, deep frying, baking, salad dressings, no problems at all.

Not sure, it's the stuff from Holland & Barratt.

Good to know as I'd rather use it for cooking for the reasons you've stated.
