It’s not headline news, but it makes me smile when I come upon a mainstream product that shows the big guys are actually “getting it.” This week, the smile was prompted by Crisco’s new Puritan Canola Oil with Omega-3. The omegas come from algae, which means it’s a great option for vegetarians — fish is another big source. 

Crisco is such a massive company with competitive prices that it could easily ignore the call for better, healthier oils. Instead, the company is on the move, tweaking its products and basically giving mainstream eaters access to better food. This new oil is about $3.99 for 16 ounces.
