What it is

Hydrolyzed soy and corn protein is made by breaking down soy and corn proteins into smaller pieces called amino acids. This process, called hydrolysis, is done using acids, enzymes, or heat. It results in a savory, umami flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it to add a savory, meaty flavor to foods, especially in processed items. It's common in frozen meals, soups, sauces, and snacks where a rich taste is desired.

Health notes

In the U.S., hydrolyzed soy and corn protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is used in small amounts and is not typically associated with adverse health effects at these levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, but specific evaluations for this exact combination may vary. Some people may be sensitive to the high glutamate content, which can occur naturally in these proteins.

Allergen info

This ingredient is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain wheat, so it is gluten-free.
