Cooking oils

Yenzo has checked 3 products in this group, from Olivoilà, Simply Nature and Vietcoco; on a Vietnamese pack the group is called “dầu ăn”. The ingredient list and the nutrition table of each product come from its own label — all 3 from the open database Open Food Facts — and every product is rated with the same open formula the Yenzo app uses. Product names are given as printed on the pack, in Vietnamese, with a short English description in brackets.

On the Yenzo scale, all 3 are rated “Moderate”. Across these 3 products, the thing that most often pulls the rating down is saturated fat (3 of 3 products), followed by energy density (3). The ratings compare cooking oils with each other by the same rules — which rank higher within the group — not whether to eat them. Each product's page lists the reasons behind its level, figure by figure, with the threshold each figure is measured against.
