Health Impact

The extraction process to get soy protein isolate requires chemicals like hexane that may remain as residues in the food you're consuming. Soy protein isolate that is not labeled as organic or non-GMO is likely sourced from GMO or bioengineered soybeans. Check for the warning "Contains a bioengineered ingredient" in the ingredients list to confirm.
