Couple of corrections and precisions:

The correct spelling is rapeseed (my mistake)
Interesting link:Rapeseed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Canola actually means CANada Oilseed Low Acid. The acid in question is erucic acid (a mild toxic) found in varying amounts in wild rapeseed.

From what I gather rapeseed and canola is the same plant. When referred as rapeseed oil it means nonGMO and when referred as Canola oil it is a GMO product.

rapeseed and canola have similar fatty acids profiles including Omega3's. I do not have a problem with Canola oil because it is a relatively cheap way of getting Omega3's in ones diet which I think is very important.

In other words I approve of both rapeseed and canola.

In Norway, I think they would say on the label (by law) if the rapeseed used for the oil in GM.

(my take on this product)
