What it is

Fully hydrogenated soybean oil is a type of fat made from soybean oil. It is created through a process called hydrogenation, where hydrogen is added to the oil to make it more solid and stable. This process changes the oil's structure, making it less likely to spoil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fully hydrogenated soybean oil to improve the texture and shelf life of foods. It helps prevent separation in products and can add a creamy consistency. It is often found in baked goods, shortenings, and some processed snacks.

Health notes

Fully hydrogenated soybean oil is recognized as safe by the FDA and is generally regarded as safe (GRAS). It is a source of saturated fat, and high intake of saturated fat is linked to increased risk of heart disease. JECFA has evaluated it and set an acceptable daily intake. The evidence on the health effects of fully hydrogenated oils at typical consumption levels is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts and others finding no significant harm.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Therefore, fully hydrogenated soybean oil is considered a soy allergen.
