Peanut Soy

Peanut soy is a food ingredient made from a combination of peanuts and soybeans. The specific processing can vary, but it generally involves processing both legumes to create a blended ingredient.

Manufacturers use peanut soy for its protein content and flavor profile. It can be found in various snack foods and other processed items where a nutty or savory taste is desired.

Peanut soy is not specifically regulated as a standalone additive by the FDA. However, both peanuts and soy are major allergens. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated peanuts and soy individually. Evidence regarding the health effects of combined peanut and soy ingredients at typical intake levels is limited, and consumers with allergies should exercise caution.
