The invention discloses a method for removing tert-butyl hydroquinone from vegetable oil, and relates to the technical field of vegetable oil processing, wherein vegetable oil containing tert-butyl hydroquinone is subjected to vacuum deodorizing at a temperature of 230-260 DEG C by a vacuum deodorizing device to control vacuum degree, and the removed material is collected by a cooling device. According to the present invention, tert-butyl hydroquinone can be converted into tert-butyl p-benzoquinone by the vacuum deodorizing device through the removing method so as to be removed from the vegetable oil, such that the tert-butyl hydroquinone contained in the vegetable oil can be efficiently removed, and the influence of the excessive addition of tert-butyl hydroquinone on the edible safety ofvegetable oil can be avoided.
