What is lecithin and is it a concern for Halal foods?

0

Lecithin is used to prevent oil and water from separating. It is found in plants such as soybeans, as well as egg yolks and other animal sources. If lecithin is derived from plants, egg yolks or Halal animals slaughtered according to Islamic Law, it is Halal. Most lecithin is made from soybeans, however, it is possible that some may come from animal sources. Unless the ingredient label specifically lists “soy lecithin” or “vegetable lecithin”, call the food manufacturer to determine the source of the lecithin.
