What it is
A blend of vegetable oils is a mixture of two or more refined vegetable oils. These oils can come from various plant sources such as soybeans, corn, canola, sunflower, or palm. The specific combination is chosen by the manufacturer to achieve desired properties like texture, stability, or flavor in the final food product.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use blends of vegetable oils to improve the mouthfeel, stability, and shelf life of food products. They can act as a source of fat, help ingredients mix together (emulsification), and contribute to a desirable texture. These blends are commonly found in baked goods, salad dressings, margarines, and processed snacks.
Health notes
Blends of vegetable oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The health effects depend on the specific oils included in the blend and their fatty acid profiles. Some vegetable oils are sources of essential fatty acids, while others may be high in saturated or unsaturated fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various vegetable oils. Evidence on the health impacts of different fat types is ongoing and subject to dietary guidelines.
Allergen info
Depending on the specific oils used, a blend of vegetable oils may be derived from major allergens like soy or peanuts. Manufacturers are required to declare the presence of these allergens on the ingredient list. It is not a major allergen on its own unless derived from one of the nine major food allergens.
