Hidden Soy

I've come across many websites with listings of soy derivatives, here's a summary of hidden ingredients you may find in vegan foods.

Akara
Emulsifier
Guar Gum
Gum Arabic
Hydrolized (Vegetable) Protein
Isolates
Lechithin
Margarine
Miso
Mono and Diglycerides
MSG
Natural Flavors
Natto
Olean
Shortening
Stabilizer
Tamari
Tempeh
Teriyaki
Thickener
TVP (textured vegetable protein)
Vegetable Oil
Vegetable Broth
Vegetable Gum
Vegetable starch
Vitamin E
Yuba



Most people with soy allergies can tolerate many of these ingredients. Soy oil, for example, has a negligible concentration of allergens and only the most sensitive individuals will react. Vitamin E and MSG are also distant derivatives and won't give most people any issues.
