Breading Set In Non-hydrogenated Soybean Oil

Breading set is a mixture of ingredients that creates a crispy coating on foods, often used in frozen products. It typically includes flour, starches, leavening agents, and seasonings. The soybean oil used is a vegetable oil that helps create a desirable texture and flavor during cooking.

Manufacturers add breading set to create a crunchy, golden-brown exterior on foods like chicken tenders, fish sticks, and appetizers. The soybean oil helps in achieving a fried texture without deep frying and adds to the overall palatability of the product.

Soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for soybean oil itself, but recommends limiting saturated and trans fats. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soybean oil and its components.
