What it is

Soy protein concentrate is a food ingredient made from defatted soybean flakes. The flakes are processed to remove most of the soluble carbohydrates (sugars), leaving a product that is at least 65% protein.

Why it's used

It is used in foods to increase protein content, improve texture, and help bind ingredients together. You can find it in meat substitutes, baked goods, breakfast cereals, and protein bars.

Health notes

Soy protein concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Soy is a widely consumed food, and its protein is considered a complete protein source. Some people have concerns about compounds in soy called phytoestrogens; however, scientific reviews suggest that typical consumption of soy foods does not pose health risks for most healthy individuals. Evidence regarding specific health effects of soy, such as its impact on hormone-sensitive conditions, is mixed, with some studies suggesting benefits and others showing no clear effect or potential concerns at very high intakes. As a food ingredient, it is not typically evaluated by JECFA or EFSA in the same way as food additives.

Allergen info

Soy is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
