What it is
Corn oil is extracted from the germ of corn kernels, and soybean oil is extracted from soybeans. Both are vegetable oils produced through a process of crushing, extracting, and refining the raw material.
Why it's used
These oils are widely used in food manufacturing for cooking, frying, and baking due to their neutral flavor and high smoke point. They are common ingredients in processed foods like snacks, baked goods, and salad dressings, providing texture and moisture.
Health notes
Corn oil and soybean oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended uses. They are sources of dietary fats, including polyunsaturated fatty acids. As common dietary fats, they are not typically evaluated by JECFA or EFSA as food additives; rather, their role is considered within overall dietary fat intake. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) advise limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories.
Allergen info
Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Corn is not considered a major allergen.
