What it is
Cottonseed and soybean are oilseeds grown in the U.S. and around the world. The seeds are harvested, cleaned, and then processed to extract the oil, which is then refined for use in food.
Why it's used
Cottonseed and soybean oils are highly refined vegetable oils used as cooking oils and as ingredients in a wide variety of processed foods. They provide a neutral flavor and a smooth texture, and are often found in baked goods, snacks, and spreads.
Health notes
Cottonseed 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. JECFA has evaluated these oils and established specifications for their purity. Concerns about pesticide residues in cottonseed oil have been addressed through refining processes.
Allergen info
Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. However, highly refined soybean oil is often considered hypoallergenic due to the removal of allergenic proteins during processing. Cottonseed is not a major allergen.
