What it is

Soy lecithin is a fatty substance derived from soybeans. It is typically produced by extracting oil from soybeans and then treating the oil with a solvent to isolate the lecithin. The resulting product is often a thick, yellowish liquid.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use soy lecithin primarily as an emulsifier, which helps to blend oil and water-based ingredients smoothly. It also acts as a stabilizer and can improve texture in foods. You can find it in a wide range of products like baked goods, chocolate, margarine, and processed meats.

Health notes

Soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common food additive and is present in many processed foods. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated soy lecithin. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities.

Allergen info

Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Not a gluten-containing ingredient.
