What it is

Canola lecithin is a fat-like substance derived from canola seeds. It is produced by extracting oil from the seeds and then processing the oil to isolate the lecithin. The 'organic' designation means the canola seeds were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use canola lecithin as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that normally don't mix, like oil and water. It also acts as a stabilizer and can improve texture. You'll find it in a variety of processed foods, including baked goods, chocolate, and convenience meals.

Health notes

In the U.S., canola lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of choline, an essential nutrient. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lecithin, and it is permitted for use in foods in many regions. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Canola lecithin is not derived from soy or any of the other major allergens. It is gluten-free.
