Soy sauce is widely used in Asian cuisine and is also extremely versatile and can be used in many different foods. This article looks at whether soy sauce is gluten-free, what brands to choose, and gluten-free soy sauce alternatives.
1. Gluten is found in most soy sauces
Traditionally, soy sauce is made from wheat and soybeans. Soy sauce is usually made by combining soybeans and ground wheat that is fermented for several days in brine containing cultures. Therefore, most soy sauces contain wheat gluten.
However, a variety called tamari is usually naturally gluten-free. While traditional Japanese tamari contains a small amount of wheat. Most tamari produced today are only made with fermented soybeans. In addition, some soy sauces are made with rice instead of wheat to accommodate people who are sensitive to gluten.

2. How to choose gluten-free soy sauce
Most standard soy sauces contain gluten, while most tamari soy sauces are gluten-free. However, you should look for the gluten-free variety listed on the package label.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires a food to be labeled gluten-free to contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, an extremely small amount unlikely to affect both those with the most severe gluten intolerance.
Another way to determine if soy sauce is gluten-free is to check the ingredients list. If it contains wheat, rye, barley or any ingredients made from these grains, it is gluten-free. Here are some gluten-free soy sauces:

3. Gluten-Free Soy Sauce Substitute
Coconut is a popular choice for making gluten-free soy sauce and can provide a delicious flavor. Coconut coco is made of old coconut flower resin with salt. The result is a sauce that tastes quite similar to soy sauce but is naturally gluten-free. It contains several amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Like tamari, coconut is a solid gluten-free soy sauce substitute and is available in stores.
Most soy sauces are gluten-free. However, tamari soy sauce is usually made without wheat and is therefore gluten-free. The same goes for soy sauces made with rice.
