What it is

Soy lecithin is a fatty substance derived from soybeans. It is produced by extracting the oil from soybeans and then processing it to isolate the lecithin. Salt is a mineral compound, sodium chloride, commonly sourced from underground deposits or evaporated seawater.

Why it's used

Soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water. Salt is used to enhance flavor and as a preservative. They are often found together in processed foods such as chocolate, baked goods, and snack mixes.

Health notes

Soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Salt is a necessary nutrient, but high intake is linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting sodium intake. Both ingredients have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA.

Allergen info

Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Salt is not a major allergen.
