You may find that it is rapeseed oil. Vegetable in a generic term and could be made from a few different plants. Peeps say rapeseed is better as it is thinner but others can be used.
Some people don't buy the extended life ones as it contains GM products and they like the idea of GM.

Re: Tesco Offer ON Rapeseed Oil
Local Sainsburys was doing 2l Crisp'n'Dry at £1/litre, offer now seems to be on the 1l bottles at £1/l.
Soya oil seems to attract the bargain prices more than rapeseed. Could it be used in low proportions?
