What it is

Soybeans are legumes grown worldwide, while cottonseeds are a byproduct of cotton production. Both are processed to extract oils, which are then refined, bleached, and deodorized for use in food.

Why it's used

Refined soybean and cottonseed oils are neutral-tasting, versatile fats used in a wide range of processed foods. They function as cooking oils, shortenings, and ingredients in products like baked goods, snacks, and fried items.

Health notes

Soybean and cottonseed oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. They are sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated these oils, and they are commonly consumed in typical amounts without adverse health effects. Some concerns have been raised about potential residues from pesticides used in conventional cotton farming, but refined oils undergo processes to minimize these.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. However, highly refined soybean oil is often considered non-allergenic by regulatory bodies due to the removal of allergenic proteins during processing.
