What it is

Reduced sodium soy sauce is a version of traditional soy sauce with a significant portion of its sodium chloride removed. It is made by brewing soybeans, wheat, salt, and water, and then processing the mixture to lower the sodium content. This results in a sauce with a similar flavor profile to regular soy sauce but with less salt.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use reduced sodium soy sauce to provide a savory, umami flavor in foods while lowering the overall sodium content. It is commonly found in marinades, sauces, salad dressings, and seasoned rice or noodle dishes. Its use helps food manufacturers meet consumer demand for lower-sodium options.

Health notes

Reduced sodium soy sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. While high sodium intake is linked to increased blood pressure, reducing sodium intake is a public health goal. JECFA has evaluated soy sauce and its components. The U.S. National Academies have established upper intake levels for sodium. Evidence suggests that reducing sodium intake can benefit cardiovascular health.

Allergen info

Soy sauce is derived from soybeans, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Wheat, often used in its production, is also a common allergen and contains gluten.
