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. Its neutral flavor and relatively low cost make it a popular choice for manufacturers. It functions as a fat or oil, providing texture and mouthfeel in products like salad dressings, baked goods, 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. The World Health Organization (WHO) has evaluated soybean oil and found no specific health concerns at typical consumption levels. Evidence does not suggest a direct link between soybean oil consumption and adverse health effects when consumed in moderation 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. While highly refined soybean oil typically has the allergenic proteins removed, individuals with severe soy allergies may still react.
