What it is
Canola soybean oil is a blend of two common vegetable oils. Canola oil comes from the seeds of the rapeseed plant, bred to have lower levels of erucic acid. Soybean oil is extracted from soybeans.
Why it's used
This blend is used as a cooking oil and a source of fat in processed foods. Its neutral flavor and versatility make it suitable for baking, frying, and as an ingredient in dressings, sauces, and baked goods.
Health notes
Both canola oil and soybean oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are common sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated these oils. Evidence on the health effects of consuming these oils at typical dietary levels is extensive and generally shows neutral or beneficial associations with cardiovascular health, though research is ongoing.
Allergen info
Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Therefore, canola soybean oil is considered a major allergen.
