What it is

Expeller-pressed soy oil is a vegetable oil extracted from soybeans using mechanical pressure, without the use of chemical solvents. This method is often preferred for its perceived environmental benefits and to avoid residual solvents. It is a common ingredient in many processed foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use expeller-pressed soy oil as a cooking oil, a source of fat, and an emulsifier. Its neutral flavor makes it suitable for a wide range of products, including salad dressings, baked goods, and processed snacks.

Health notes

Expeller-pressed soy oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated soybean oil. Evidence regarding the health effects of soy oil consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting benefits and others raising concerns about high omega-6 intake.

Allergen info

Soy oil is derived from soy, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. While highly refined soy oil typically contains very little or no soy protein, it is still considered a soy-derived ingredient.
