What it is

Corn and soybean oils are common cooking oils made from the seeds of corn plants and soybeans, respectively. They are extracted from the kernels or beans through pressing or solvent extraction, then refined to remove impurities. These oils are widely used due to their neutral flavor and versatility.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use corn and soybean oils as a cooking fat, a base for dressings and sauces, and as an ingredient in baked goods and processed foods. Their neutral taste and liquid state at room temperature make them suitable for a wide range of applications where a distinct flavor is not desired.

Health notes

Corn and soybean oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are part of a healthy diet. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not set a specific limit for these oils, but recommends limiting saturated and trans fats. Evidence on the health effects of specific oils is ongoing and can be complex.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Corn is not a major allergen. Gluten is not present.
