What it is
This ingredient refers to food, typically meat or poultry, that has been cooked and then immersed in vegetable oil. The oil helps to preserve the food, add moisture, and impart flavor. The specific type of vegetable oil used can vary.
Why it's used
Vegetable oil is often used in the preparation of fully cooked meats and poultry to enhance their texture and shelf life. It is commonly found in frozen convenience meals, appetizers, and pre-cooked poultry products, helping to keep them moist and flavorful during reheating.
Health notes
Vegetable oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of calories and can contain various fatty acids, including unsaturated fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many common vegetable oils. At typical consumption levels, they are a standard part of the diet.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen unless the specific vegetable oil used is derived from soy or peanut, which are major allergens. Gluten is not typically present.
