While mustard oil is a culinary staple in many parts of the world, most varieties are not approved for human consumption by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to high levels of erucic acid.

This exception highlights the critical distinction between traditional mustard oil and modern, food-grade alternatives.
