What it is

Soy lecithin is a substance made from soybeans. It is a mixture of phospholipids, which are types of fats. It is typically produced by extracting oil from soybeans and then processing this oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use soy lecithin as an emulsifier, meaning it helps oil and water mix and stay mixed. It also acts as a stabilizer and can improve texture. You'll find it in many processed foods like chocolate, baked goods, and margarine.

Health notes

In the U.S., soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a common food additive. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated soy lecithin. While some people may have sensitivities, it is not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food.

Allergen info

Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
