What it is

Refined soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. The oil is then refined, bleached, and deodorized to remove impurities and off-flavors, resulting in a neutral-tasting oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use refined soybean oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. Its neutral flavor and liquid consistency make it suitable for frying, baking, and as a base for salad dressings and sauces.

Health notes

Refined 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 and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence on the health effects of refined soybean oil at typical intake levels is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits from its fatty acid profile and others raising concerns about processing and oxidation.

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 hypoallergenic because the refining process removes most of the allergenic proteins.
