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 seeds are typically crushed, and the oil is then extracted using mechanical pressing or solvent extraction.

Why it's used

Soybean oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. Its neutral flavor and versatility make it a common choice for manufacturers. It can be found in salad dressings, baked goods, margarine, and fried foods.

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 than saturated fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated soybean oil. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns when consumed in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. However, highly refined soybean oil is generally considered non-allergenic.
