What it is

Soy protein concentrate is made from soybeans. The process removes most of the carbohydrates and fats, leaving a concentrated source of protein. It is often used as a meat extender or binder in processed foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add soy protein concentrate to processed meats like sausages and hot dogs to improve texture and bind ingredients. It can also be used in baked goods and beverages. Its protein content makes it a useful ingredient for increasing the nutritional value of foods.

Health notes

Soy protein concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of plant-based protein. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy proteins. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts found in food.

Allergen info

Soy is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with a soy allergy should avoid products containing soy protein concentrate.
