Why do people put soy lecithin in chocolate?

Soy lecithin is an emulsifier, it makes chocolate ingredients "well blended". For example, if you try and mix water and olive oil, you won't be able to do so: you will have oil blobs floating on top of water - that is, these two ingredients cannot be blended together, and some emulsifier is needed to turn water and oil into a uniform mass. The same thing with chocolate: it has cocoa butter, which is hard to blend with other ingredients into a uniform creamy chocolate mass without an emulsifier (soy lecithin).


Is lecithin halal for Muslims?

There is no definite answer to this question since Lecithin (which is an emulsifier) may be derived form either plant (i.e. soy lecithin) - or animal source. Here in Germany it is specifically written if the lecithin is derived from soy beans (= soy lecithin). If only "lecithin" is written on the product, one has to ensure (f.e. by contacting the producer) whether its derived from animal or plant-source.

Can lecithin be eaten by those with soy allergies?

Lecithin can come from two main sources; soy or eggs. Clearly if you have a soy allergy, eating soy lecithin is unwise. Luckily, if lecithin is from soy, it must be labelled "soy lecithin" on the packaging. Eating egg lecithin should present no problems. I should point out that the vast majority of regular chocolate bars contain soy lecithin rather than egg; lecithin-free chocolate is a specialty product which can sometimes be found in specialist chocolateries or health-food stores.
