What it is
Milk fat is the fat component of milk, derived from cows. Soy lecithin is a phospholipid mixture extracted from soybeans, often used as an emulsifier.
Why it's used
When combined, milk fat provides richness and flavor, while soy lecithin helps blend ingredients that normally don't mix, like oil and water. This combination is often found in chocolate, baked goods, and candies to improve texture and shelf life.
Health notes
Soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a common food additive used in small amounts. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy lecithin. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Milk fat is derived from milk, also a major allergen.
