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. 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 versatility make it suitable for frying, baking, and as a base for salad dressings and sauces. Manufacturers use it for its fat content, which contributes to texture and mouthfeel.

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 fatty acids. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated soybean oil as part of broader assessments of fats and oils. While generally considered safe, high intake of omega-6 fatty acids relative to omega-3 fatty acids has been a topic of nutritional research.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the nine FDA major allergens. However, highly refined soybean oil is often considered to have the allergenic protein removed. Consumers with severe soy allergies should consult product labels and their healthcare provider.
