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

Soybean oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. It acts as a source of fat and can also help improve texture and mouthfeel. It is commonly found in salad dressings, baked goods, margarines, 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. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other international bodies have evaluated soybean oil as part of overall dietary fat intake, noting its role in providing essential fatty acids. High intake of any added fat should be considered within the context of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. However, highly refined soybean oil is often considered non-allergenic by regulatory bodies due to the refining process removing most of the allergenic proteins. Consumers with severe soy allergies should consult with their doctor.
