Why is Mild shoyu soy sauce classified as NOVA group 3 and does it contain any additives?

The sauce is made by fermenting soy beans, wheat and salt, a process that places it in NOVA group 3 (moderately processed); it contains no listed additives or preservatives, only natural ingredients.

How does the sodium level in this soy sauce affect a hypertensive or low‑salt diet?

The product contains a noticeable amount of sodium from sea salt, typically around 1 g of salt per 100 ml, so individuals on salt‑restricted or hypertensive diets should use it sparingly.

Is this soy sauce suitable for a gluten‑free diet?

No, the sauce includes wheat (froment) as an ingredient, which introduces gluten and makes it unsuitable for those requiring a gluten‑free diet.
