Is safflower oil grouped with sunflower oil?
They are separate ingredients in the catalog so the explanation names the oil that was printed. Both sit in the seed-oil category.
Seed oils

Oil from safflower seeds, including high-oleic safflower oil.
Matches personal ingredient preferences based on label evidence; not medical, allergy, or dietary safety advice
What the label is naming
Safflower oil is a seed oil used in chips, roasted snacks, and some mayonnaise. High-oleic safflower oil remains in this entry. The pattern requires the word oil so a rare botanical mention without oil does not count.
Where it hides
It is less common than canola or soybean oil, which is why it is easy to skip inside a three-oil and/or list. Packaged popcorn and kettle chips are the usual places to look.

Label-reading tips

Questions
Does the matcher infer safflower from 'vegetable oil'?
No. Unspecified vegetable oil is its own entry and does not claim a specific seed.
