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 processed foods. Its neutral flavor and versatility make it a popular choice for manufacturers. It can also act as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water.

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 at typical dietary levels is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits for heart health and others raising concerns about inflammation.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the nine FDA major allergens. While highly refined soybean oil is often considered hypoallergenic, the FDA still requires it to be declared as a major allergen.
