Soy AllergyHome >> Soy Food Allergy


Soybeans have become a major part of processed food products in the United States. Avoiding products made with soybeans can be difficult, as Soybeans and Soybean by products are found in many sauces, dressings, and processed foods. Soybeans alone are not a major food in the diet but, because they're in so many products, eliminating all those foods can result in an unbalanced diet. In addition, Soybean by products can be found in many allergy medications such as Benadryl, we recommend consulting your physician before using if you do have Soy Allergies. The good news is that because Soy is one of the eight major Food Allergies found in Americas, there are labeling laws requiring that if soy is an ingredient in a product, it must be listed on the label.



Keep in Mind

Soybeans and soy products are found in baked goods, canned tuna, cereals, crackers, infant formulas, sauces, and soups.
At least one brand of peanut butter lists soy on the label.
Studies show that most soy-allergic individuals may safely eat soybean oil (not cold pressed, expeller pressed, or extruded oil). If you are allergic to soy, ask your doctor whether or not you should avoid soy oil.

If you suspect that you have a soy allergy, consult your physician or allergists and get tested!
