One of the world’s most
widely used edible oils.
Almost all margarine and shortenings in the United
States contain soybean oil. It also is almost universally
found in mayonnaise, salad dressings, frozen foods,
imitation dairy and meat products and commercially
baked goods. Soybean oil has little flavor, which is
an advantage because it won’t interfere with the
overall taste of the food. Most but not all oils sold as
“vegetable oil” are actually soybean oil.
