But, Google says:

Soybean oil is found in a wide variety of foods because it is a common and inexpensive cooking oil and is often listed as "vegetable oil". Common products that may contain soybean oil include baked goods, breakfast cereals, processed meats, and salad dressings. It is also used in margarine, shortening, and many fried foods.
