Soybean Oil Palm Oil Canola Oil

This ingredient is a blend of soybean oil, palm oil, and canola oil. Soybean oil is extracted from soybeans, palm oil from the fruit of the oil palm tree, and canola oil from the seeds of the canola plant. These vegetable oils are obtained through pressing and solvent extraction methods.

Manufacturers use this blend primarily as a source of fat in foods. They contribute to texture, mouthfeel, and flavor, and are used as cooking mediums or ingredients in baked goods, snacks, and processed foods like cakes, cupcakes, and muffins.

Soybean oil, palm oil, and canola oil are all generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These oils provide dietary fats, with varying proportions of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA has evaluated palm oil, soybean oil, and canola oil. There are no specific health controversies regarding the safety of these oils themselves at typical intake levels.
