What it is

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. 'Expeller pressed' means the oil was extracted using mechanical pressure, without the use of chemical solvents. 'Organic' means it was produced without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.

Why it's used

Soybean oil is a common cooking oil and ingredient in processed foods. It is used as a base for salad dressings and mayonnaise, and as a frying oil. Its neutral flavor and liquid consistency make it versatile.

Health notes

Soybean oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-6 and omega-3. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated soybean oil. Evidence on the health effects of soybean oil consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising concerns about high intake of omega-6 fatty acids.

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 non-allergenic by regulatory bodies.
