Soy Sauce

Hello All,

I was looking at a package of soy sauce from a Chinese restaurant in NYS and I thought that the soy sauce might be gluten free. The ingredients on the package are: water, salt, vegetable protein, corn syrup, caramel color, 1/10 of 1% sodium benzoate. It is by W.Y. INDUSTRIES, INC 2500 Secaucus RD, North Bergen, NJ, 07047 www.wyindustries.com I aksed them if there soy sauce and duck sauce was gluten free and this was their response: Corn syrup , Corn Starch, Veg protein is soy based, Caramel color is corn based, vingear from acetic acid. So I am figuring that this soy sauce is gluten free, am I correct?

The caramel is what stood out for me (quite often it is wheat based) but they said it was corn based, so that's eliminated....

The rest looks okay to me - nothing else stands out.

I do know there are some gluten free soy sauces out there, making the rounds in the chinese food industry. Perhaps this is one of them.

Here is another:

Thanks for the replies. Good to here we all agree that it is gluten free. BTW I have heard of Kari Out but I can never find it. :( Oh well I guess I can just ask for this one or Kari Out now.

I would think if it is produced locally you would be okay. Here in China labeling isn't complete, but all soy sauce has wheat in it. If yours is imported and then re-labeled, I would wonder.

Karen, caramel coloring is not something I worry about. Shelley Case writes in her book Open Original Shared Link that it is (1) usually corn based in North America, and (2) so highly processed that no detectable gluten remains even if the source were to be wheat. That is good enough for me.

That's good to know Peter! Thanks!

LaChoy Soy Sauce does not list wheat as an ingredient as other brands do. They do list "Caramel Color" but only list "Soy" as an allergen.

I eat La choy on a almost daily basis, and while i do get glutened alot, It is never because of the soy sauce! I also get the low sodium, because it's better for you!

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?

      I have been a diagnosed Celiac for over 30 years.  If I even get any type of cross contamination I end up in the hospital.  Recently I have been getting "cankers".  I am assuming that this is a result from something I am eating.  any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I follow an extremely strike diet as result and this is something new that has popped up.  I still get very ache sometimes and fatigued.  Thank you.
