Wait? Is There Soy In This?

Because soy is a top 8 food allergy, you would *think* it would be fairly easy to spot on ingredient labels.

It isn't always.

While companies are required to disclose if a product contains soy, it doesn't have to disclose if one of the ingredients are made with with they deem to be a "negligible" amount of soy.

Here are some common forms of soy found in foods (some may or may not be made of soy - you would have to contact the manufacture to be sure):

• Hydrolyzed soy protein (HSP)
• Mono- and di-glycerides
• MSG (monosodium glutamate)
• Soy
• Soy lecithin
• Soy protein (concentrate, hydrolyzed, isolate)
• Soybean oil
• Teriyaki sauce
• Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
• Natural Flavoring
• Bulking agent
• Hydrolyzed plant protein (HPP) or hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP)
• Gum arabic
• Guar gum
• Lecithin
• Mixed tocopherols
• Stabilizer
• Thickener
• Vegetable gum, starch, shortening, or oil
• Vitamin E
• Enzymes
• Vegetable Rennet

Soy can also be found in the wax coating on vegetables, and in meats, milk and eggs where the animals were fed soy.

Did I miss any forms of soy?? Please comment with them if I did!
