Soy-free
What is soy-free?
Soy-free refers to a product or diet that does not contain soy or any ingredients derived from soy. Some people may need to follow a soy-free diet due to a soy allergy or sensitivity, while others may choose to avoid soy for personal or dietary reasons.
Soy is a common ingredient in many processed foods and can also be found in products such as supplements, cosmetics, and animal feed. Therefore, it is important for individuals who need to avoid soy to carefully read food labels and ingredient lists to ensure that a product is soy-free.
Soy-free alternatives to common soy-based products may include using alternative plant-based milks like almond or oat milk instead of soy milk, and using alternative protein sources such as pea protein or hemp protein instead of soy-based protein supplements.
