Cold pressed and non-denatured, grass feed whey protein concentrate and non GMO sunflower lecithin are the only ingredients. Its the most natural I've found that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Unfortunately this item pops up on amazon when you do a search for "sunflower lecithin". To boot, it looks very much like the similar but smaller Swanson sunflower product. This product is labeled just "Lecithin" then it says in small print that it is soy based. I got duped and wasted my money on it.

When I purchased it , it had the soy based lecithin I haven't purchased it recently though so it may be the new mix now

This product DOES NOT contain SOY. It was switched last year to Non-GMO sunflower.

Ingredients: pure extracted egg white albumin (protein) and lecithin ( the allergy info lists eggs and soy so the lecithin is from soy instead of animal tissue) , those are the only two ingredients , there is no soy protein in it at all. This from the unflavored version.

The protein is 100% whey based but there is a small % (most likely less than 1 - 2%) of soy lecithin as an emulsifier. Since lecithin is a highly refined ingredient there is little to no protein left so it is an incidental ingredient. If it is an allergen concern, recommendation is to avoid. If you are not concerned about allergen, this is an excellent product.

Hi Brittany, On Tera's Whey website's FAQ (http://www.teraswhey.com/faqs.html) they say they reformulated their product to have sunflower lecithin instead of soy lecithin. So if you get one with soy lecithin in it, it's probably old. That being said, they do process their products in a facility that may handle soy-based ingredients, which they disclose on their label. Hope it helps! ~Heather

My container (purchased from Whole Foods, not Amazon) says Sunflower Lecithin.

The order I just received, from the seller "American Nutrition Store," lists non-GMO sunflower lecithin. Goes on to say "Free of egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans." And then the standard "manufactured in a facility that... (does everything)" warning.

As of October 2014 the vanilla (and natural) flavored whey does NOT contain soy. I believe they switched from soy lecithin to sunflower lecithin in the past 6 months or so.

The label says it contains soy. The Jarrow Formulas website: "Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a natural phospholipid and is a component of cell membranes.* Jarrow Formulas® Cogni-PS® is a concentrated form of phosphatidylserine from sunflowers that offers superior stability. It does not contain soy and is not derived from genetically modified organisms (non-GMO)."Sound like they don't know or won't admit where it comes from.The web address: http://www.jarrow.com/product/150/PS

I just bought the 8-pack of 1 serving packets. The package says they use soy lecithin instead of the sunflower but these also expire 10/14 so I think I got an older batch. Going to try buying a 1.1 lb next to see if the newer batches are soy-free.
