Organic Soy Beverage

Organic soy beverage is a plant-based milk alternative made from soybeans grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The soybeans are typically soaked, ground with water, and then filtered to create a milky liquid. It is often fortified with vitamins and minerals.

Manufacturers use organic soy beverage as a dairy-free milk substitute in beverages, cereals, and baked goods. It can also be found in non-dairy frozen desserts and energy bars, providing a creamy texture and a source of protein.

Organic soy beverage is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Soybeans contain isoflavones, which are plant compounds that may have antioxidant effects. Research on the health effects of soy consumption is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits for heart health and bone health, while others note mixed results regarding hormonal effects. JECFA has evaluated soy protein and set an acceptable daily intake. It is not considered a major allergen.
