And Not More Than 2% Soybean Oil Added To Aid Processing

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is one of the most widely used cooking oils in the United States. The oil is typically refined, bleached, and deodorized before being used in food products.

Soybean oil is often added to processed foods to improve texture, prevent sticking, and extend shelf life. It acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that normally don't mix well, like oil and water. It is commonly found in baked goods, salad dressings, margarines, and fried foods.

Soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats. While generally safe, some people may have sensitivities. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not set a specific limit for soybean oil intake, but recommends a balanced diet with healthy fats.
