Can expired soybean oil still be consumed?

Soybean oil can generally be eaten after it has expired. If it has expired for a short period of time, eating it will not cause much harm to the body. However, if the expiration time is long, you need to avoid eating it as it may cause certain effects on your body.

If soybean oil is expired for a short period of time and is not opened, the nutrients in it will not be greatly damaged, and eating a small amount will not cause serious harm to the body.

If soybean oil has been expired for a long time or the package has been opened, you should avoid eating it. Because after a long period of expiration or after the package has been opened, the soybean oil will deteriorate and the nutrients in it will be destroyed, making it impossible to replenish the nutrients needed for human consumption. In addition, there may be infection with pathogenic microorganisms. Eating soybean oil infected with pathogenic microorganisms can easily cause gastrointestinal lesions, such as enteritis or gastritis, and may cause adverse symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, or diarrhea. In more serious cases, it can cause food poisoning and may even lead to death.

Soybean oil is best consumed within its shelf life. It has certain benefits to the body, can supplement a variety of trace elements and mineral components, and can avoid causing serious harm to the body. You need to avoid taking too much soybean oil at one time, otherwise it will cause harm to your body.
