The article contains almost nothing about edible rapeseed production outside North America, and the perspective is very American too. It is a major crop throughout temperate regions of the world though not usually described as canola. I'm going to add a globalize tag. -- Ef80 ( talk) 13:35, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
This is a fascinating discussion. Here is what USDA says which is about authoritative for what "Americans" say as anything (from
here):
The dramatic success of the canola brand in North America has caused the word "canola" to become synonymous with edible rapeseed in much the same way the word "Xerox" is understood to be a photocopy. Today, nearly all production in North America uses edible rapeseed varieties, and discussions of production typically refer only to canola. Other areas of the world where canola varieties are less widely used continue to use the term "rapeseed" for both edible and inedible varieties. This web page uses terminology familiar in North America.
Crop History
Since World War II, global production of rapeseed and canola has grown dramatically. During WWII, inedible rapeseed oil was used as a high-temperature lubricant on steam ships, but with the switch to diesel engines in the following decade, industrial demand declined. Initially, consumer demand for rapeseed oil was negligible because it naturally contains high amounts of erucic acid. Erucic acid was enough of a concern that in 1956, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned rapeseed oil for human consumption. In addition, demand for rapeseed meal was low because of high levels of glucosinolates, a compound that at high doses depresses animal growth rates.
By the early 1970s, plant breeders developed low-erucic acid rapeseed (LEAR) varieties that also had low glucosinolate content. In 1978, the Western Canadian Oilseed Crushers Association registered these varieties with the name "canola" for marketing reasons. Over the next 10 years, European seed producers also developed LEAR varieties, which they dubbed "double-zero" or "canola-equivalent."
Because of the higher palatability of LEAR varieties, FDA granted the oil produced from LEAR varieties Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status on January 1, 1985. With its low level of saturated fat, LEAR oil appealed to health-conscious consumers, and production increased steadily.
In general the section on Production and Trade could easily be expanded a bit to include information on regions outside North America. Ditto the history section (there is content for citing in the USDA article above and plenty of others) Ef80, why don't you just add history information, and production information from other regions and thereby globalize the article? There is a ton of information on global production here: http://www.fas.usda.gov/wap/current/ I cannot imagine that anybody would object. Jytdog ( talk) 17:40, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
@ SpikeToronto: The current version of the article refers both to a legal definition of the term in Canadian law and an "official" definition. The former is not supported by a source at all, the latter is supported by a webpage of the Canola Council of Canada, which in turn quotes an "internationally regulated standard".
"Official" is always relative to an authority [1] and there can be several "official" definitions of a term.
The Canola Council page does not indicate the standards body that published the quoted definition, which leaves several possibilities.

References
The cited health effects are from a study sponsored by the the Canola Council of Canada and the U.S. Canola Association. This represents an obvious conflict of interest. I added this sponsorship to the main article to draw attention to this potentially bias citation. I, unfortunately, do not have the time now or likely soon, to delve more into this and find another, independently sponsored article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.236.43.100 ( talk) 21:18, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
This revert was justified because Healthline (and WebMD) are not peer-reviewed expert sources. They are commonly written by bloggers with no medical expertise, often containing spam and quackery. Let's find better quality WP:MEDRS or WP:SCIRS sources for specific information on health or oil constituents that may affect health. Zefr ( talk) 03:21, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
