Hydrolyzed Soy Protein?

My favorite salad dressing has hydrolyzed soy protein in it and I am not sure if the is gluten-free or not. I know that hydrolyzed vegetable protein and hydrolyzed plant protein are NOT gluten-free but I can't seem to find out anything about the soy protein.

As far as I know the soy is fine.

I have always been told to avoid hydrolyzed soy, so I do.

I have always been steered away from all the Hydrolyzed rpotiens because I was told they were not gluten-free.

Just curious... what is the dressing? I only ask because the soy protien is generally used as an emulsifyer, to hold the oil and liquid together. If that's the case with your dressing, I can probably help you come up with a "make it yourself" dressing that's very similar, using other emulsifyers. If its already a dressing you make at home, you can substitute the soy protien with dijon mustard, also egg yolk or whole egg (the vinegar in dressing cooks the egg so don't worry about it being raw) and also mayonaise, or lecithin (comes granulated and is egg protien).

Hope this helps a little. :D

Hydrolyzed soy protein is supposed to be fine; it's when it's hydrolyzed vegetable protein that there is gluten. if there is a 1-800 number on the bottle, call the company and ask. good luck!

Just FYI, I was looking at soup bases today, and I picked up a product that specifically stated in the ingredients Hydrolyzed soy protien (wheat gluten) and was listed as the same ingredient. I don't know if this is all the time... but if it's in one product, its probably in others.

Thanks guys for all the replies. I guess I will stay away from it then. I am looking for a good Italian dressing. Does anyone know any that are gluten-free or Kathleen you got any good recipes?? I really appreciate the help!

Here is a good and universal vinaigrette recipe. You can change the flavor by adding other ingredients or changing the type of vinigar you use or the flavor of the oil. Use roasted garlic or shallots rather than fresh, add purees like roasted red pepper or artichoke, use lemon juicein place of all the vinegar, or orange or lime juice. Add other spices as well, such as chipotle, ground bay leaf, thyme, oregano, etc.

For vinaigrette:

Hydorilyzed soy protein is in a lot of the "authorized/safe foods" list? I am so confused.

If your looking for Italian dressing, and don't have the time/or want to make your own another option is Kraft Also, a few of Paul Newman's products are gluten-free. You could email him, or go on his website to find out. Good luck.

Kathleen,

Just curious....what product did you find that had the listing? Everything I Have ever found shows that it is a safe food. Now Im really confused. I wonder if it's just one of those things that will always have to be verified from the manufacturer.

The product is called Minor's, its a stock/broth concentrate in the form of a paste. It's used a lot in the restaurant industry, so up here it's difficult to find in small quantities, but recently I found it in a one pound tub, and I checked the ingredients... sure enough it lists the hydrolyzed soy protien together with wheat gluten in parenthesese.

Again I'm not saying all product with soy protien are also going to have wheat gluten, I'm just saying be careful. It's never a bad idea to double check with a manufacturer, if only for peace of mind. And like I mentioned above... if it's in one product, it may be in others. At least this product clearly stated the gluten on the label.

Was a bit curious about this and a quick search found a page that shows which Minor's products ARE gluten-free.

(i get the feeling this info was added recently)

A few lines down it says:

NOTE: Gluten Free items in the table below are on a light green background.

Yesterday a doc (I trust) confirmed it for me. But read this and judge for yourself. I wish someone told me this 5 years ago before this happened to me.

Soy is not a source of gluten. Soy is gluten free. Some people react badly to soy. Some say that soy is bad for everyone. Find a food source, and you can find someone, somewhere who will attest that it is bad for you:

Red meat is bad for your heart. Dairy is bad. Sugar is bad. Artificial sweeteners are worse. Wheat is bad. Fruit juice is full of sugar, so it is bad. Alcohol is bad. Corn is bad. MSG is bad. Caffeine is bad. Fish contain bad things from the water, such as mercury. Eggs have cholesterol and are bad. Et cetera.

I'm bad! :(

MySuicidalTurtle--

Just curious, did your dr. tell you this and why? My son is allergic to soy and his dr. said hydrolyzed soy protein was ok. Maybe I should question this? He hasn't been bothered by it in bouillon, but maybe something is being damaged I don't know about? Thanks.

Also psawyer--you are psooo bad :D !!!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
