What it is
Textured soy concentrate is a plant-based protein product made from defatted soybeans. The soybeans are processed to remove most of the fat and then texturized, often through extrusion, to create a fibrous, meat-like product.
Why it's used
It is used as a meat extender or meat substitute in products like vegetarian burgers, sausages, and chili. Manufacturers add it to improve texture, increase protein content, and reduce cost in processed foods.
Health notes
Textured soy concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein and fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy proteins. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Soy is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Therefore, textured soy concentrate is a major allergen.
