What it is

Soy protein concentrate is made from soybeans. After the oil is removed, soybeans are processed to remove most of the carbohydrates, leaving a concentrated protein product.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use soy protein concentrate as a source of protein and to improve texture and moisture retention. It is often found in processed meats, poultry products, and vegetarian meat alternatives.

Health notes

Soy protein concentrate is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of plant-based protein. The WHO/IARC has classified soy as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), but this classification is based on high consumption of processed soy foods and does not apply to moderate intake of soy protein concentrate. JECFA has evaluated soy protein concentrate.
