Last updated: April 2026 dataCanola meal — the low-glucosinolate, low-erucic-acid variety of rapeseed meal — has become a mainstream protein ingredient in North American livestock and aquaculture feed, distinguished from traditional high-glucosinolate rapeseed meal by its significantly improved palatability and safety profile. The distinction between canola-quality meal and conventional rapeseed meal is commercially and nutritionally critical: glucosinolate content must be verified by certificate of analysis, as elevated levels suppress thyroid function and reduce feed intake in poultry and swine. Canada is a leading supplier of canola meal to the US market, and USMCA facilitates cross-border trade flows for this commodity.

Canola is a specific variety of rapeseed bred to contain less than 30 micromoles of glucosinolates per gram of air-dried meal and less than 2% erucic acid in the oil. Both canola meal and conventional rapeseed meal fall under SITC 08136, so classification is the same, but the nutritional and commercial distinction is significant. Buyers should require a variety declaration and glucosinolate certificate of analysis to confirm canola-quality standards are met, especially for poultry and swine rations.
Canola and rapeseed meal are hygroscopic and prone to caking and heating in high-moisture conditions. Bulk shipments should be loaded at moisture levels below 12% to minimize microbial activity and self-heating during transit. Shippers and receivers should agree on moisture testing methodology (e.g., oven-dry vs. near-infrared) in the contract, as measurement method differences can create disputes when moisture is near the contractual limit.
