Gluten Free Tamari Sauce

Gluten Free Tamari Sauce is a type of soy sauce that is traditionally made without wheat. It is produced by fermenting soybeans with water and salt, often with the addition of a koji starter culture. This fermentation process gives it a rich, savory, and less sweet flavor compared to regular soy sauce.

Manufacturers add Gluten Free Tamari Sauce primarily as a flavoring agent to provide an umami taste to various foods. It is commonly found in Asian-style sauces, marinades, salad dressings, and condiments like ketchup and BBQ sauce. It serves as an excellent gluten-free alternative to traditional soy sauce in many recipes.

Gluten Free Tamari Sauce is considered a food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used appropriately. Like other soy sauces, it is high in sodium, and excessive intake of sodium can contribute to high blood pressure. There are no specific health controversies associated with gluten-free tamari itself, beyond general dietary considerations for sodium intake. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole food ingredients like tamari as food additives.
