Contains Less Than 2%: Soybean Oil

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is one of the most widely used cooking oils in the United States. The oil is typically refined, bleached, and deodorized before being used in food products.

Manufacturers add soybean oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. It provides a neutral flavor and a smooth texture. It is commonly found in salad dressings, mayonnaise, baked goods, and fried foods.

Soybean oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not set a specific limit for soybean oil intake, but recommends limiting saturated and trans fats. Some studies suggest that high intake of certain vegetable oils may be linked to inflammation, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed.
