"Canola can be used in a variety of edible and inedible products for humans, as well as made into meal to feed livestock," Stichler said. "It's also used in the production of biodiesel fuel."

Along with oil, canola is used in making salad oils, sandwich spreads, coffee creamers and other edible products. Canola meal is processed into pellets and mash to make feed for pigs, cattle and poultry. It is also used in pesticides, lubricants, printing inks, cosmetics and other non-edible products.
