What it is
Soy sauce is a liquid condiment made from fermented soybeans, wheat, water, and salt. It is produced through a brewing process, similar to beer or wine, that can take several months. This fermentation gives soy sauce its distinctive savory flavor and dark color.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add soy sauce primarily as a flavor enhancer, providing a rich, savory "umami" taste to foods. It is widely used in marinades, sauces, soups, and various Asian-inspired dishes. It can also contribute to the color of a finished product.
Health notes
Soy sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The primary health consideration for soy sauce is its high sodium content. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day, and consuming too much sodium can contribute to high blood pressure. JECFA and EFSA have not set specific acceptable daily intake (ADI) limits for soy sauce itself, as it is considered a traditional food ingredient rather than a food additive.
Allergen info
Soy sauce contains both soy and wheat, which are two of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Products containing soy sauce must declare these allergens on their labels.
