We are Clarkson Specialty Lecithins

The ONE and ONLY dedicated producer and supplier of Certified Organic & Non-GMO Lecithins in the world.


Clarkson Specialty Lecithins provides natural lecithins for the food, pet food, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries. Our products can be ordered in bulk for discounts, and free quotes are estimated within 24 hours. We're a family-owned and locally operated company that serves the entire USA and countries around the world, and we guarantee your satisfaction.


Our company originally formed as a joint venture between Clarkson Grain and Illinois Ventures. Lecithin is an interesting compound since it serves multiple purposes in food: an emulsifier to prevent separation as well as a release agent to prevent sticking as examples. It's in everything from organic chocolate to infant formula.


We're the only facility in North America that is FSMA compliant in the organic lecithin industry, so this makes us completely unique within North America and perhaps even the world as far as having this level of quality and food safety for lecithin.

Uses For Lecithin

Clarkson Certified Organic and/or Kosher Lecithin can be used in a variety of applications including:


  • Chocolate
  • Confections
  • Bakery goods / breads
  • Ice cream
  • Cheese / dairy products
  • Pet foods / animal feeds
  • Energy / nutritional bars
  • Health supplements
  • Personal care products
  • Baby foods / infant formulas
  • Powdered mixes

We Also Offer the World’s First Natural Lecithin


Clarkson Specialty Lecithins will satisfy your natural lecithin needs, whether in processed products as an emulsifier or as a release agent in production.


With over 20 years of experience dedicated to the production of commercial quantities of soy and sunflower lecithins, we are the only company in North America dedicated to supplying Non-GMO, Certified Organic, and Natural Lecithins.


With two U.S.-based processing and production facilities, we can meet the various needs of any supply chain anywhere and anytime – for small producers, larger co-packers, and multinational food or pharmaceutical companies.


We also have distribution in Canada and the EU, and soon in many other regions and countries around the world.


If you’re in need of a trusted and reliable supplier of natural lecithin, then look no further. The difference is our experience. Clarkson Specialty Lecithins, LLC became the new name for Clarkson Soy Products, LLC as of 7/1/18.
