Analysis updated May 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This soy sauce contains a simple ingredient list with water, wheat, soybeans, and salt, but includes sodium benzoate as a preservative, which is a moderate concern due to potential health risks. The product is processed, which limits its score, and the high salt content is another factor that affects its healthiness. Despite these issues, the absence of seed oils and artificial colors or flavors is a positive aspect.
