Soy/cottonseed Oil For Passover

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. Cottonseed oil is extracted from the seeds of cotton plants. Both are refined through processes that include pressing, solvent extraction, and purification to remove impurities and unwanted flavors.

These oils are widely used in packaged foods as a cooking oil and as an ingredient. They provide a neutral flavor and smooth texture, and are often found in dips, deli salads, pickles, olives, and relishes.

Soybean oil and cottonseed oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are common sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated these oils. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intakes.
