What Crisco Original No-Stick Canola Oil Spray is made of, ingredients and materials
Crisco Original No-Stick Canola Oil Spray is canola oil (the base) combined with lecithin (a food-grade emulsifier derived from soy or sunflower) and propellant. Lecithin allows the oil to disperse evenly and prevents clumping. This is a simple, food-derived formulation with no synthetic binders, resins, or polymer coatings. The propellant is typically food-grade hydrocarbon or nitrous oxide, both approved for food contact.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Propellant inhalation risk
Food-grade propellants (hydrocarbon or nitrous oxide) are approved for food contact at typical use levels, but repeated inhalation of spray mist in poorly ventilated kitchens can accumulate; use with ventilation and avoid holding can near face during spraying.
Rancidity and oxidation
Canola oil oxidizes over time, especially if stored warm or in light; oxidized oil produces off-flavors and minor volatile compounds. Proper storage and rotation prevent this, but old stock may degrade before purchase.
Soy lecithin allergen (if applicable)
Lecithin is often derived from soy; Crisco does not always specify the source on label. Soy-allergic individuals should confirm source before use, as some batches may use soy and labeling may not highlight it prominently.
Can coating integrity
Metal cans are typically lined with epoxy or polyester to prevent rust and oil contact with steel; degradation over years or if dented could allow minimal metal leaching, though risk is low for a product with short typical shelf life.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Buildup and residue on cookware
Lecithin-based sprays can leave light residue if overused or not wiped off after cooking; this is cosmetic and not a safety hazard, but affects non-stick performance and cookware appearance over time.
The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Crisco is owned by Conagra Brands. The company does not explicitly advertise PFAS testing or PFAS-free status for this product, though cooking oil sprays are not flagged in industry recalls or regulatory warnings for PFAS contamination. Crisco maintains FDA compliance for food-contact substances and does not carry known safety violations specific to this product line. Ingredient transparency is limited to the label; Crisco does not publish third-party testing results for this spray.
How it compares in its category
Oil spray products vary by propellant and emulsifier. Crisco's canola oil base is standard and less prone to rancidity than butter sprays. Some competitors use soy lecithin; others use gum acacia or cellulose as binders. Crisco avoids the added waxes or silicones found in some premium non-stick sprays, making it simpler. Price and availability are competitive for mainstream grocery channels.
If you buy it
Use on cookware preheated to moderate temperatures (canola smoke point is around 400F; the spray's propellant may limit use above 350-375F to avoid degradation). Store upright in a cool, dry place; do not expose to heat or direct sunlight, as pressurized cans risk rupture. Shake well before each use to keep emulsifier mixed. Replace every 12-18 months or if the spray pattern becomes weak or clogged; propellant loss is the main functional end-of-life marker.
