Soy Oil
Soy Oil appears in 1,204 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.
What the data can answer
Soy Oil appears in 1,204 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

Catalog prevalence comes from Open Food Facts ingredient lists. FDA SAFFA and CSPI Chemical Cuisine labels are shown only when the source record contains them.
How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 411 of 1204 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 1/2 Cheese Pizza & 1/2 Pepperoni Pizza; 100% Whole Wheat Bread; 2 Layer Cake to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Soy Oil itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
411 of 1,204 linked records have some flagged component
All 1184 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.

- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 1,213 products listing it (mean slot 16.3). Soy Oil usually falls in the upper half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.
Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.
What else is usually in the same product as Soy Oil
Across the 1,204 products on this site that list Soy Oil, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often. The comparison column is how often each one appears across every product with a parsed ingredient list, so the two figures are measured over the same set. Carrageenan shows up about 2.8x more often with Soy Oil than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Soy Oil products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 152 | 12.6% | 4.5% |
| Red 40 | 103 | 8.6% | 5.4% |
| Caramel Coloring | 83 | 6.9% | 5.7% |
| Yellow 5 | 65 | 5.4% | 4.8% |

Co-occurrence describes what manufacturers formulate together. It is not a claim that these additives interact, and it carries no regulatory meaning. Counted over products with parsed ingredient lists; Open Food Facts, 2026-09-01.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 16 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.
