Soy sauce

I was looking at package of California rolls (rice rolls).  The label listed allergens and did not include wheat.  I checked the ingredients anyway and saw soy sauce (water, soy bean salt, modified soy starch).  I'm confused.  I didn't buy it because it listed soy sauce and I wasn't sure.  Any thoughts or experience?

Most, but not all, soy sauces contain wheat. As a top allergen, the wheat must be labelled by that exact word--wheat. The list in parentheses after the "soy sauce" is the ingredients in that particular ingredient. No gluten there. Enjoy it! It is safe.

Would the same apply to Hydrolyzed Soy Protein?

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein is Soy Protein not wheat protein

There is a form of soy sauce called Tamari Soy sauce which is derived from just soy and not wheat commonly being gluten free.

 

Other options for soy sauce exist, I personally can not have soy but have found the perfect replacement in Coconut Aminos has a almost identical taste and can be subbed in all recipes exactly as soy sauce is. Coconut secret makes this product and it is completely gluten free, they also make great garlic sauce and a tarayaki sauce, along with some great Ungranola (granola made without oats and gluten free) and some good chocolate bars. Feel free to check out there site and get a mixed order in. I personally have a whole sale account with them and get in co-opted bulk orders with some others a few times a year.

Yes, if there was wheat it would be disclosed. Hydrolyzed protein is not a concern, unless it is wheat protein.

Thanks for the info.  I use tamari or Bragg Aminos at home, I was just concerned about seeing soy sauce in the ingredient list.  But now I won't be in this particular case.  Thank you all.

      R there any organizations that help with financial costs of food?

      By trents · Posted

      Moms Across America for one. Here's the article that kicked off long thread and more than one thread on Celiac.com this past summer:  Our community feels the testing needs to be tightened up. As of now, GFCO allows food companies to do self-testing and self-reporting. Testing is also done We strongly believe testing needs to be done more frequently and there needs to be drop in, unannounced testing by the FDA and certification groups.

      What celiac watchdog groups have looked into what you mentioned? Thanks.

      Welcome to the forum, @CiCi1021! Well, to begin with, most of us have found it isn't necessary to buy a lot of specifically labeled "gluten free" or "Certified Gluten Free" prepackaged food items as long as you are willing and able to cook from scratch. This is especially true since testing by celiac watchdog groups has cast some serious doubt on how consistently food companies are actually meeting gluten free and certified gluten free standards. It's probably just as effective and certainly less expensive to buy naturally gluten free mainline food products such as fresh meat, vegetables and fruit and prepare your own meals. The only major exception to that in my experience is loaf bread. It's very difficult to make your own gluten free bread products and have them come out decent with regard to texture. The major food companies have invested a lot into that component and have come up with some pretty good stuff that's hard to duplicate for yourself.

      Struggling with costs of all the special food.  Are there any organizations out there that will assist with costs?

      Should I get a second opinion?

      By trents · Posted

      I would ask the GI doc about the elevated IGA score of 401. That one is what we commonly refer to as "total IGA" and also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA)". It could be nothing but it can also indicate some other health issues, some of them serious in nature. I would google potential causes for that if I were you. Also, if there is a chance the GI doc will want to do more testing for celiac disease, either antibody testing or an endoscopy with biopsy, you should not cut back on gluten consumption until all celiac disease testing is done. Otherwise, you will invalidate the testing.
