I can't speak to China Lily, but VH is gluten-free and is widely available in Canada. We have been using VH since my diagnosis mid-2000.

Like Peter I use the VH brand soy sauce, also their other sauces as they clearly label any "trouble" ingredients.
I'm not sure about China Lily but did find this post in the forum:
as for ones NOT to use in Canada: Kikkoman and Lee Kum Kee, both clearly list wheat in the ingredients (actually all the LKK stuff is troublesome
darn it!)

Hello Torontonians, Torontoites or Easterners.
I am trying to find out if China Lily Soy Sauce is gluten-free.
The ingredients are:
Soya based hydrolyzed plant protein
water
sugar
salt
caramel
starch
spices
sodium benzoate
I can't find any info on the internet and I can't find an 800 #.
I have no desire to spend a lot of $$ on long distance charges, either.
I'm looking for the source of the starch and I'm not sure about the caramel either. Is that usually brown sugar or molasses? Or can it be barley sometimes?
If anyone out there can call and post back, I'd love it. And, if I ever meet you I'll throw in a firm handshake and a sincere thank you.

That's all the contact info I have. I guess if I can't find anything out, I can call CFIA. (For the record, I am using VH right now, but would like to use China Lily.)

(this makes sense, my mother had MS)
What if there were no hypothetical questions?

Kathy,
We buy the Noname brand 'lite' soya sauce (from Loblaws). It is gluten-free and much lower in sodium.
(If you google how to make home-made soya sauce, you'll find that wheat is an essential part of 'real' soya sauce. You start by making a soy and wheat dough, let that ferment, and then put it into a brine for a second fermentation.)
