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, produced by crushing soybeans and then extracting the oil through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction.

Why it's used

Soybean oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in salad dressings, baked goods, and margarines. Its neutral flavor and versatility make it a common choice for manufacturers seeking a cost-effective fat source in a wide range of processed 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 when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soybean oil, and it is widely consumed globally. Research on the health effects of soybean oil consumption is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising questions about its impact on inflammation and chronic diseases, particularly when highly processed or consumed in excess.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. While highly refined soybean oil may have most of the allergenic protein removed, it is still considered a soy allergen.
