Consumer Advice
Thermally oxidised soybean oil is an emulsifier produced by heating soybean oil under controlled conditions and reacting it with glycerol, often used together with mono- and diglycerides to disperse fat evenly in baked and fatty products. As a soybean-based ingredient it is plant-derived, contains no animal components, and suits vegan, halal and kosher diets. Highly refined soybean oil has very low allergenicity and is not a common allergen, though extremely sensitive individuals may wish to check labels. It is safe at approved use levels.
