What it is

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is typically refined, bleached, and deodorized to create a neutral-flavored oil suitable for cooking and food manufacturing.

Why it's used

Refined soybean oil is a versatile cooking oil used for frying, baking, and as an ingredient in dressings, sauces, and processed foods. Its neutral flavor and high smoke point make it a popular choice for manufacturers.

Health notes

Soybean oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated soybean oil. Evidence on the health effects of soybean oil consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising concerns, particularly regarding its omega-6 fatty acid content when consumed in large amounts relative to omega-3 fatty acids.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. However, highly refined soybean oil is often considered non-allergenic because the protein responsible for allergic reactions is typically removed during the refining process. Consumers with severe soy allergies may still wish to exercise caution.
