FDA approves heart-healthy claim for soy oil
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a heart-health claim for U.S. soy oil. The approval follows the American Heart Association’s recent confirmation that the fats in soybean oil have benefits for cardiovascular health.
The United Soybean Board says the claim will help U.S. soybean farmers compete with other soybean oils known for heart-healthy benefits and will position U.S. soy in international markets where health-conscious decisions are being made.
The petition for the qualified health claim was submitted to the FDA by Bunge, a leading U.S. soybean processor.
