What it is

Soy is a legume native to East Asia. It is processed to create various food ingredients, including soy protein, soy oil, and soy lecithin. These ingredients are used for their functional properties and nutritional content.

Why it's used

Soy-derived ingredients are used in a wide range of foods. Soy lecithin acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water in products like baked goods and chocolate. Soy protein is used to add protein content to beverages, bars, and meat alternatives.

Health notes

Soy ingredients are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended uses. Soy protein is a complete protein, containing all essential amino acids. Some studies suggest potential benefits from soy consumption, such as effects on heart health, but research is ongoing and evidence is mixed. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated soy components, and JECFA has established acceptable daily intakes for some soy derivatives.

Allergen info

Soy is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with a soy allergy should avoid products containing soy ingredients.
