- unfocussed_mike 5y agoIn the UK, something marked "vegetable oil" is basically going to be rapeseed (canola), but sometimes sunflower seed oil if it's come from Europe. If it is marked "pure vegetable oil" it essentially always 100% rapeseed. Rapeseed grows very easily here, and we don't grow soybeans -- they barely grow at all here. Soya is a notifiable allergen in the UK -- it must be labelled as such when it's in an unrefined form. And even if it's refined, the law still says the origins of oils have to be declared. The combination of these two things (cost and allergens) means that if an oil has soya on it, you'll know from the front label. Indeed, if it's anything other than rapeseed it'll probably be marketed that way.
