Why does Shoyu traditionnel receive a Nutri‑Score of E despite being low in fat and sugar?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm heavily penalizes high salt (15.8 g per 100 ml) and low fiber, while offering limited positive points for protein and the absence of fat, resulting in a low overall score and the E grade.

How does the high salt content of this soy sauce affect people with hypertension or a low‑sodium diet?

With 15.8 g of salt per 100 ml, the sauce far exceeds daily sodium recommendations; using it regularly can raise blood pressure and should be limited to small amounts or avoided by those on low‑sodium or hypertensive diets.

Is the soy protein in Shoyu traditionnel a concern for individuals with soy allergy, and is it sourced organically?

Yes, the product contains 18 % soy, which is the listed allergen, so anyone with a soy allergy should avoid it; the soy is marked as organic, indicating it meets organic production standards.
