Concerns about the safety of RBD oil

One primary concern is the use of solvents such as hexane to extract the maximum amount of oil from the seed.

Refined oils extracted with hexane contain approximately 0.8 milligrams of residual hexane per kilogram of oil.

Hexane is a very volatile solvent with a very low toxicity used to extract oils from plant material since the 1930s. 

While there is no clear evidence of the dangers of ingesting foods containing trace residual concentrations of hexane yet, hexane has been recognized for more than 40 years to cause long-lasting and even permanent nerve damage in the limbs.
