Why does this salty soy sauce have a Nutri‑Score of E, and which nutrients are responsible for the low rating?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm assigns most negative points to the very high salt level (13.1 g per 100 ml), while the low amounts of fat, sugars and saturated fat give few positive points, resulting in a score of 20 and a grade of E.

How does the high salt content of this soy sauce affect people with hypertension?

With 13.1 g of salt per 100 ml, the sauce provides more than twice the daily recommended maximum sodium; regular consumption can raise blood pressure and should be limited or avoided by individuals with hypertension.

Is this salty soy sauce suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients, water, salt, soy, wheat flour and sugarcane alcohol, are plant‑based, so the product is vegan, but the presence of wheat flour means it contains gluten and is not suitable for a gluten‑free diet.
