What it is

Organic soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from soybeans grown under organic farming practices. It is a common cooking oil and ingredient, produced by crushing the soybeans and extracting the oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use soybean oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient to add richness, improve texture, and act as a carrier for flavors in a wide variety of processed foods. It is frequently found in salad dressings, baked goods, snacks, and sauces.

Health notes

Soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. 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 from its fatty acid profile and others raising concerns about processing and oxidation.

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. However, highly refined soybean oil is often considered non-allergenic by regulatory bodies and allergists.
