What it is
Isolated pea product is a protein-rich ingredient made from yellow peas. It is produced by grinding dried peas and then separating the protein from the starch and fiber. The resulting powder is a concentrated source of plant-based protein.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add isolated pea product to foods primarily as a source of plant-based protein. It can also improve texture, act as a binder, or help with emulsification in various processed foods. It is often found in frozen dinners, appetizers, burritos, and other prepared meals.
Health notes
Isolated pea product is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a food ingredient. It is a source of dietary protein. JECFA and EFSA have not established an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for isolated pea product, as it is considered a food ingredient rather than a food additive. There are no notable controversies regarding its safety at typical intake levels.
