What it is

Salad oil is a general term for edible oils used in salad dressings and other foods. It is typically a blend of refined vegetable oils such as soybean, canola, sunflower, or corn oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add salad oil to provide moisture, improve texture, and carry flavors in a variety of foods. It is commonly found in salad dressings, sauces, baked goods, and processed meats.

Health notes

Salad oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of fat, which provides energy and helps the body absorb certain vitamins. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated various vegetable oils, and they are considered safe when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. High intake of fats, including those from salad oils, can contribute to excess calorie consumption.

Allergen info

Depending on the specific oils used, salad oil may be derived from major allergens like soy or corn. Consumers with allergies should check the ingredient list for specific oil sources. Gluten is not typically present in refined vegetable oils.
