What it is

Soy sauce is a savory liquid condiment made from fermented soybeans, roasted grains, brine, and mold cultures. The fermentation process can take several months to years, developing its characteristic umami flavor and dark color. It is a staple in many Asian cuisines and has become popular worldwide.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use soy sauce primarily to add a salty, umami flavor to foods. It can also contribute to browning and color in cooked dishes. It is commonly found in marinades, sauces, stir-fries, dips, and as a seasoning for meats, vegetables, and grains.

Health notes

Soy sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is high in sodium, and excessive intake of sodium is linked to high blood pressure. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated soy sauce and its components. Some studies have explored the health effects of fermented foods, but evidence on soy sauce specifically at typical consumption levels is mixed.

Allergen info

Soy sauce is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It may also contain wheat, depending on the brewing process, which would make it a source of gluten.
