What it is

Wheat-free tamari is a type of soy sauce made without wheat. Like traditional soy sauce, it is brewed from soybeans, salt, and water, but it uses a different process that omits wheat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use wheat-free tamari as a gluten-free alternative to traditional soy sauce. It provides a similar savory, umami flavor to foods and is often found in gluten-free crackers, marinades, and sauces.

Health notes

Wheat-free tamari is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated soy sauce and its ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels. Some individuals may be sensitive to the high sodium content found in soy sauce products.

Allergen info

Wheat-free tamari is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is specifically made without wheat, making it suitable for those avoiding gluten.
