Naturally Brewed Gluten Free Soy Sauce

Soy sauce is a dark, salty liquid condiment made from fermented soybeans, roasted grain (usually wheat or rice), salt, and a fermenting agent. The "naturally brewed" label indicates it was made through a traditional fermentation process, rather than with chemical hydrolysis. Gluten-free versions use rice or other gluten-free grains instead of wheat.

Soy sauce is primarily used to add a savory, umami flavor to foods. Manufacturers add it to dressings, marinades, sauces, and stir-fries to enhance taste. It also contributes to the color and complexity of many Asian-inspired dishes.

Soy sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. It is high in sodium, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting sodium intake. JECFA has evaluated soy sauce and established acceptable daily intake levels. While soy itself is a common allergen, soy sauce is typically consumed in amounts that do not pose a significant health risk for most people.
