French health authorities issue warning about soy products
Briefly

France's national food safety agency, ANSES, has recommended that schools and workplaces eliminate soy products from their menus due to health risks associated with high isoflavone levels. This warning affects all mass catering operations, impacting the availability of soy-based foods such as veggie burgers and non-dairy milk. Instead, ANSES urges canteens to consider alternatives like chickpeas and lentils. They highlight that excessive soy consumption can disrupt hormonal functions, particularly stressing caution for populations such as young children and pregnant women.
Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire (ANSES) recommended that French canteens should remove soy-based products due to health concerns, advising diversification with alternatives like chickpeas.
ANSES emphasizes the need to 'avoid overconsumption' of soy to mitigate potential health risks related to hormonal disruption across all age groups.
