What it is

Organic soy sauce is a fermented condiment made from organic soybeans, wheat, salt, and water. The fermentation process, often using a mold called Aspergillus, breaks down the ingredients, creating its characteristic dark color, rich umami flavor, and complex aroma.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic soy sauce primarily as a flavoring agent to add a savory, salty, and umami taste to foods. It is commonly found in Asian dishes, marinades, sauces, dressings, and as a dipping sauce.

Health notes

Organic soy sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a significant source of sodium, and high sodium intake is linked to increased blood pressure. The WHO/IARC has classified fermented soy products as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), but this classification is based on limited evidence and refers to traditional fermentation methods which may differ from modern food production. JECFA has evaluated soy sauce and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

Soy sauce is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains wheat, which is a source of gluten.
