What it is

Soybean oil, also known as soy 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 a wide variety of processed foods. Its neutral flavor and versatility make it a popular choice for manufacturers. It functions as a fat or oil, providing texture and mouthfeel in products like baked goods, dressings, 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, including omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soybean oil. While generally considered safe, some research has explored the effects of high omega-6 intake, though evidence on specific health outcomes at typical dietary levels is mixed.

Allergen info

Soybeans are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Soybean oil is derived from soybeans.
