What it is

Soy lecithin is a fatty substance found in soybeans. It is made by extracting the oil from soybeans and then processing it to isolate the lecithin. It is commonly used as an emulsifier, meaning it helps mix ingredients that don't normally blend well, like oil and water.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use soy lecithin to improve the texture and shelf life of foods. It helps prevent ingredients from separating, creates a smoother consistency, and can act as a wetting agent. You'll find it in baked goods, chocolate, margarine, and many processed foods.

Health notes

Soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a common food additive with a long history of use. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy lecithin. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have sensitivities. It is not typically associated with significant health concerns when consumed in amounts found in food.

Allergen info

Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Individuals with soy allergies should exercise caution.
