                                According to manufacturers and suppliers, hexane-free sunflower lecithin is now widely available, offering a 'clean-label' alternative to conventionally processed ingredients. However, whether a particular product contains hexane depends entirely on its extraction method, with mechanical processing avoiding the chemical entirely. This shift reflects growing consumer demand for transparency and natural food production.
