What it is

A blend of vegetable oils, such as soybean, canola, sunflower, or corn oil. These oils are extracted from various plant seeds and fruits. They are refined to remove impurities and then blended to achieve specific flavor, texture, and performance characteristics for food production.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use vegetable oil blends as a fat source to improve texture, mouthfeel, and shelf life in baked goods, spreads, and processed foods. They contribute to leavening and browning in baked items and provide a smooth consistency in margarines and spreads.

Health notes

Vegetable oil blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of fatty acids, including unsaturated fats. JECFA has evaluated various vegetable oils and established acceptable daily intakes for some. While generally considered healthy in moderation as part of a balanced diet, high intake of certain fats found in some blends could be a concern for cardiovascular health.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soy, one of the major allergens. Other common vegetable oils like canola and sunflower are not among the nine major allergens. Gluten is not typically present in refined vegetable oils.
