What it is

Hydrolyzed soy is made by breaking down soy protein into smaller pieces called amino acids and peptides. This process is typically done using enzymes or acids. It is often used to add a savory, umami flavor to foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add hydrolyzed soy to foods to enhance their flavor, providing a meaty or savory taste. It is commonly found in processed foods like soups, gravies, sauces, and snack seasonings.

Health notes

Hydrolyzed soy is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of amino acids, which are building blocks for protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar hydrolyzed proteins. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Hydrolyzed soy is derived from soy, which is one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
