What it is

Blended oil is a mixture of two or more refined vegetable oils. The specific oils used can vary widely, but common components include soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, and sunflower oil. The blending process aims to create a product with specific cooking properties, such as a desired smoke point or flavor profile.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use blended oils for their versatility and cost-effectiveness. They serve as a cooking medium, adding richness and mouthfeel to foods. Blended oils are found in a wide range of processed foods, including baked goods, snacks, dressings, and fried products.

Health notes

Blended oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of calories and fats, and the specific health effects depend on the types of oils included in the blend and the overall diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various vegetable oils used in blends. Evidence regarding the health effects of dietary fats is extensive and ongoing, with recommendations often focusing on the balance of different fat types in the diet.

Allergen info

Blended oils are not typically considered major allergens unless specific allergenic oils like soy or peanut oil are included in the blend. Consumers should check product labels for specific ingredient declarations. Gluten is not typically present in vegetable oils.
