What it is

This ingredient refers to a vegetable oil that has been heated to a high temperature. Vegetable oils are typically derived from seeds, fruits, or nuts, such as soybean, corn, or canola oil. The cooking process can alter the oil's properties and flavor.

Why it's used

Vegetable oils are added to foods as a cooking medium, to improve texture, and to add richness. They are commonly found in processed foods like frozen meals, snacks, baked goods, and fried items. The specific type of vegetable oil used can influence the final flavor and mouthfeel of the product.

Health notes

Vegetable oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of fats, which provide energy. When used in typical amounts, they are not associated with adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vegetable oils. Evidence on the health effects of specific types of vegetable oils, particularly regarding saturated and unsaturated fats, is ongoing and can be complex.

Allergen info

Vegetable oils are not typically considered major allergens. However, if the oil is derived from a major allergen like soy, peanuts, or tree nuts, it may be listed as such on the ingredient label. Gluten is not typically present in vegetable oils.
