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 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 salad dressings, baked goods, and other processed foods. Its neutral flavor and versatility make it a popular choice for manufacturers. It can also act as a carrier for fat-soluble vitamins and flavors.

Health notes

Soybean oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a common source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. JECFA has evaluated soybean oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Some research suggests that diets rich in polyunsaturated fats may have benefits for heart health, while other studies show mixed results regarding its impact on inflammation. More research is needed to fully understand the long-term health effects of consuming soybean oil.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the FDA's major allergens. Therefore, it is considered a major allergen.
