What it is

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is one of the most widely used oils in the United States. The seeds are typically crushed and the oil is extracted using mechanical pressing or solvent extraction.

Why it's used

Soybean oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in salad dressings, baked goods, and other processed foods. Its neutral flavor and relatively low cost make it a versatile choice for food manufacturers. It can also act as an emulsifier and contribute to texture.

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, including omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. While some research has explored the health effects of soybean oil consumption, evidence regarding its impact on chronic diseases is mixed and ongoing. Both the WHO and EFSA have evaluated soybean oil and related fatty acids.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. However, highly refined soybean oil is often considered hypoallergenic because the protein responsible for allergic reactions is typically removed during the refining process. Always check product labels for specific allergen information.
