What it is
Soy lecithin is a fatty substance derived from soybeans. It is produced by extracting the oil from soybeans and then separating the lecithin from the oil. It is often sold in powdered or granular form.
Why it's used
Soy lecithin is commonly used as an emulsifier in food products. This means it helps to mix ingredients that normally don't blend well, like oil and water. It is found in a variety of processed foods, including baked goods, chocolate, and dressings.
Health notes
Soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common ingredient and is consumed in typical amounts without known adverse health effects. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy lecithin, and it is permitted for use in the EU. Some people may have sensitivities or allergies to soy, which is a separate concern from the lecithin itself.
Allergen info
Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
