Is Soy Sauce Gluten Free?

Caution

Sometimes. While certain types of soy sauce, such as tamari, are gluten free, soy sauce is typically made from soybeans and wheat. If the label is unclear, we recommend contacting the manufacturer for more information.

Soy Sauce and the Gluten Free Diet

Soy sauce is a dark, salty liquid condiment originating from East Asia, produced by fermenting soybeans and wheat with specific molds, yeasts, and bacteria. It is a staple in many Asian dishes and is used for seasoning, marinating, and as a dipping sauce. There are different varieties of soy sauce, such as light, dark, and tamari, each with unique flavor profiles and uses.
