What it is
Soy sauce is a dark, savory liquid condiment made from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and water. The fermentation process, often involving a mold called Aspergillus, breaks down the ingredients, creating its characteristic umami flavor and deep color.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add soy sauce for its salty, umami flavor and rich color. It is commonly used in marinades, stir-fries, dipping sauces, and as a seasoning for a wide variety of savory dishes, including soups and snacks.
Health notes
Soy sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Concerns about high sodium content are common, as soy sauce is typically high in salt. JECFA has evaluated soy sauce and established specifications for its quality.
Allergen info
Soy sauce contains soy and wheat, both of which are among the 9 FDA major allergens. Wheat also contains gluten, which can be a concern for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
