Dry Soy Sauce

Dry soy sauce is a powdered form of traditional liquid soy sauce. It is made by dehydrating liquid soy sauce, often with the addition of starches or other drying agents to create a free-flowing powder.

Manufacturers use dry soy sauce to add a savory, umami flavor to foods without adding extra liquid. It is commonly found in dry soup mixes, seasoning blends for snacks like chips and jerky, and instant noodle products.

Dry soy sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains sodium, similar to liquid soy sauce, so high consumption may contribute to elevated sodium intake. JECFA has evaluated soy sauce and established an acceptable daily intake.
