What it is

Dried soy sauce is a dehydrated form of traditional soy sauce. It is made by fermenting soybeans and wheat with salt and water, then drying the resulting liquid into a powder or granules. This process concentrates its savory flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dried soy sauce primarily as a flavor enhancer, providing a salty, umami taste. It is often found in savory snacks, frozen dinners, and noodle dishes to impart an Asian-inspired flavor profile.

Health notes

Dried soy sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Like liquid soy sauce, its primary health consideration is its high sodium content, which can contribute to exceeding the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg for sodium. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated the safety of its individual components, such as soy and salt, but not dried soy sauce as a specific additive. There are no notable controversies regarding dried soy sauce itself, beyond general dietary concerns about sodium intake.

Allergen info

Dried soy sauce contains two of the 9 FDA major allergens: soy and wheat.
