What it is

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is one of the most widely used cooking oils in the United States. The oil is typically refined, bleached, and deodorized before being used in food products.

Why it's used

Soybean oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. Its neutral flavor and versatility make it suitable for frying, baking, and as a base for salad dressings and sauces. Manufacturers use it for its fat content, which contributes to texture and mouthfeel.

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, which are considered healthier 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 benefits for heart health and others raising concerns about inflammation, depending on the type of fat and processing.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. While highly refined soybean oil may have most of the allergenic protein removed, it is still considered a soy allergen.
