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 functions as a fat or oil, providing texture, mouthfeel, and helping to carry flavors. It is commonly found in baked goods, salad dressings, 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 fatty acids, including omega-6 and omega-3. JECFA has evaluated soybean oil and established an acceptable daily intake. While generally considered safe, like all fats, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. However, highly refined soybean oil is often considered non-allergenic due to the refining process removing most of the allergenic proteins.
