What it is

Wheat-free tamari is a type of soy sauce that does not contain wheat. It is made from soybeans and is typically brewed using a process similar to traditional soy sauce, but with the omission of wheat, which is a common ingredient in many soy sauces.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use wheat-free tamari as a gluten-free alternative to traditional soy sauce. It provides a savory, umami flavor in a variety of dishes. It is commonly found in dips and salsas, ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauces, crackers, and baked goods.

Health notes

Wheat-free tamari is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a fermented product and its nutritional profile is similar to regular soy sauce, containing sodium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated soy sauce and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from moderate consumption of tamari.

Allergen info

Wheat-free tamari is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is specifically formulated to be free of wheat, thus it does not contain gluten.
