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
Hydrogenated soybean oil is used as a fat or oil in baked goods and processed foods. Hydrogenation makes the oil more solid at room temperature, which improves texture and shelf life. It is commonly found in cookies, cakes, and other baked treats.
Health notes
Soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Hydrogenation can create trans fats, which the FDA has determined are not GRAS for use in human food. However, many manufacturers have reformulated to use interesterified or fully hydrogenated oils, which do not contain trans fats. The WHO/IARC has evaluated soybean oil as part of broader assessments of vegetable oils.
Allergen info
Soybean is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Therefore, soybean oil and hydrogenated soybean oil are considered major allergens.
