No, this is Soy Sauce
Regular sugar is a more natural option compared to HFCS, which is a processed sweetener.
Health Impact: While both can have similar effects when consumed in excess, HFCS is linked to a greater risk of metabolic issues due to its higher fructose content.
Can't guarantee that it is soy sauce.
Could have some trace of bat powder
@yanlianglee: Cant guarantee there is no bleach you can inject to clear up covid according to dr trump
You can't guarantee anything , so what's your point?
I know what you think of it just by looking at your username.
What don't you get about that?
Out of stock near me, boo!
seems out of stock on the 15 stores i checked.
Is this the good one? Ingredients not showing
No, this is the one with high fructose corn syrup in it.
'premium soy sauce' is the one you want, not gold label
Does the HFCS one taste different?
Probably.
Ingredients:
Water, Salt, Soybeans (9%), Flavour Enhancer (621, 631, 627), Wheat, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Colour (150a), Preservative (202), Sweetener (955). Contains Soybeans, Wheat.Why would a Chinese sauce use HFCS instead of real sugar? I thought that's something that American products use?
Because it's not about the race.
It's about capitalism.
@CalmLemons: Because HFCS is an economic distortion caused by US agricultural subsidies. They get subsidies to grow corn, so they grow so much of it that they don't know what to do with it, so they make all sorts of things out of it. Sugar cane is a much more efficient way to make sugar.
Exactly what RFK wants to fight the FDA regulations , I hope he's successful 🤞
Why would you expect them to use real sugar? Look at a lot of different Chinese products in detail and very often ingredients are different than expected.
Wouldnt surprise me even when a ingredient is listed its not actually used.
HFCS
ingredients in other better soys:
Kikkoman: Water, Soybeans (18%), Wheat , Salt.
Yamasa: Water, Soybeans, Wheat, Salt, Alcohol.
Pearl River Bridge Golden Label Superior Light Soy Sauce:
Water, Soybeans (30%), Salt, Wheat Flour, Potassium Sorbate (E202)
Thanks, main one is soybean percentage and this is really low.
Nope.
Main thing with soy sauce is added MSGs.
Soy sauce is "natural" liquid MSG… i.e. soybeans and salt ferment into MSG.
Any "soy sauce" that needs to add MSG (Flavour Enhancer 621) isn't right and should be avoided.@jkim: Not arguing against that but the ones I've seen with soybean percentage 18% and over don't have any msg….but for sure I'll double check for both going forward.
@TEER3X: If the natural fermentation process of soy sauce production will produce sufficient MSG, manufacturers have no reason to add even more MSG on top. When manufacturers are adding MSG into "soy sauce", they're not producing soy sauce, as it's not going through the correct fermentation process.
Some (like the one posted here) might be because they are shaving costs (soybeans) resulting in insufficient fermentation. Others might be shaving costs (time to ferment) or other such reasons… in any case, if you see added MSG, just avoid as there's basically 100% chance that they have skimped somewhere (ingredients, time, process, etc).
Ideally, you should see that soy sauce has NO added MSG AND for those with sugars (i.e. wheat) in the ingredients list, some warning about alcohol byproduct proving that the fermentation process took place correctly, as sugar ferments into alcohol via the same bacteria that will ferment free glutamates + salt into msg.
Typically, Korean soy sauce will not contain alcohol byproduct as they don't use wheat so don't expect to see the applicable warning label, whereas Chinese and Japanese do use wheat, so if you don't see the alcohol byproduct presence warning, you should be concerned about its quality.
A few weeks, I bought it as half price , but now ..wow
Just learning now that 'half price' doesn't mean very much at Woolies?
Only just now? Please hand in your OzB membership.
Can't read a declarative question?
I love lifting the special labels to see the "regular" price underneath, Bunnings is great at doing 1-2c discounted tags
maccas deal was great today. sale price for the meal special on the app is $8, but they used the stock photo that had the $5 price on it. i'll skip todays deal and maybe snag tomorrows
Woolworths has closed that loophole, they installed locked labels, people cant just lift to see "regular" prices anymore
That usually happens when they undercut competitor's price.
Me too 😵😵
Why is this marked at half price when it’s discounted more than half price. Can someone please explain 😂
Half price of half price. They double discounted on accident.
Hah indeed yes! Should be marked as 75% off or better than half price with all these supermarket inquiries going on right now.
Pricing error then?
Probably because many people struggle with maths, but most people think half price sounds good.
I saw a $19.99 item in Woolworths that was "1/2 price" at $0.99
And US burger chain A&W found their 1/3 pound burger patty didn’t do well against the McDonald's 1/4 pounder. In focus groups potential customers said the 1/3 pound A&W burger tasted better, but they would rather pay the same price for the "bigger" 1/4 pound MD patty.
Apparently because 4 > 3
then it follows that 1/4 > 1/3Wow bro the last paragraph above is crazy.
I sometimes tutor people in maths.
You would be surprised how many people struggle to add a one digit number to another one digit number e.g. 5 + 2
If you start asking 10% of $100 some people will have a mini mental breakdown.
And yet they refuse to give up the imperial system
Who needs 1.75L of soy :) my little 200Ml bottle always expires before its all used
Maybe you're not doing enough Asian.
I hope he doesn’t do a lot of Greek.
Who needs 1.75L of soy
Apparently not you.
It depends on the number of people in your household, your cultural background (I presume Chinese ethnicities would consume this quicker than other ethnicities due to their culinary tastes), how often you cook at home… So many variables.
Obligatory 'soy sauce never goes off'.
Probably ones full of sugar do though.
I imagine the sheer salt content would prevent anything happening to it
Things full of sugar also do not go off.
Sugar is a shelf stabiliser against basically anything that isn't yeast.
Clearly you need to drink more :)
Eat more dim sims then
Try using soy sauce instead of salt. Soy sauce is just like salt except better.
Wow don't think I've seen it discounted beyond normal half price- good find OP!
"Product of China." - hmm, it says Hong Kong on the label.
Thats China 🇨🇳
Hmm, yet their internet code is HK not CN, and they drive on the left.
Give it up It's China.
@Lucille Bluth: Yea I know. I mean Australians can visit HK and Macau without a visa but mainland Chinese needs a visa to visit HK / Macau which is rediculous.
@pork chop: They are referring to mainland Chinese coming to HK. They require a visa. Whereas Australians coming to China having the 14 day visa waiver.
Wait until you discover the below territories/islands of Australia that don't have the AU internet code
.cx – Christmas Island
.cc – Cocos (Keeling) Islands
.hm – Heard Island and McDonald Islands
.nf – Norfolk Island@Lucille Bluth: And if a product was made in any of those territories I'd debate calling it "Australian made".
internet code
Country code top-level domain, or ccTLD. Country is somewhat of a misnomer as the ISO standard from which they're derived includes dependent territories and other areas.
Most of the LKK lineup are made in China and some overseas and it's been like that for years. Only a handful of products (the premium oyster sauce is one of them) are still made in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong and Taiwan countries are much better than China.
Guess you honestly won't recommend chicken products from Australia as our chicken has salmonella?https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/jan/03/south-australian-bakery-salmonella-outbreak-strikes-more-than-30-nine-hospitalised
I honestly won't recommend liquid products from China
- Not the same company
- Not the same liquid product
- Your logic doesn't make sense. If you are going to boycott a broad category of food from one country, you might as well include Australia as well for all Australian fruit:
García Family Rockmelon Listeria Outbreak (2018): The listeria outbreak linked to contaminated rockmelons from the farm of the García family in New South Wales is an example. The contamination was traced to hygiene issues at the farm, where inadequate cleaning and sanitation practices allowed the bacteria to thrive
Or even better, @freefall101 example below
A Victorian food safety regulator is investigating allegations that milk products from dairy giant Saputo have been transported by an unlicensed trucking contractor in unclean tankers also used to carry food waste and animal stockfeed
Yeah, something like that would never happen here
People cut corners on food processing all over the world, and the Chinese tend to take it very seriously - it's always huge news and a huge reaction to it. It used to be near impossible to get baby formula in Australia because people bought it up and shipped it to China after the contamination scandal there. But in all the Bonsoy posts on here no one seems to mention that they gave iodine poisoning to hundreds of Australians when they changed their formula and screwed it up.
The problem with a country of over a billion people is there are more people to cut corners.
If you think food safety in China is okay you are living in a parallel universe
If you think food safety anywhere is ok you're deluding yourself. Our main saving grace is that we're very good with handling a lot of impurities.
It has plenty of problems in China, over a billion mouths to feed in a country that's relying on huge amounts of imports and a history of cost cutting and contamination. I'm just saying the idea that China is inherently unsafe is overblown. Chinese don't trust their own food and as a result they've done a lot to improve the quality of it over the last 20 years (including executing the head of their FDA for taking bribes).
I'd feel safer eating in China than a lot of other countries.
@freefall101: The racism is palpable. Chinese are dirty because look at the news articles. Meanwhile US listeria outbreaks and plastic in McCain cheese triangles are different because?
Not saying that two wrongs make a right. Just saying that I'd trust a 100+ year old soy sauce company before some dude on the internet who's source is 'just trust me bro' and Facebook.
you deserve a better soy sauce. This one isn't good
Great find TA, thanks!
Just sayin… I recall buying this once and ended up tipping most of it out. It was like some brown saltwater with a slight soy taste. Buy the Superior.
Farkin cheap as. Puhleese, take my effing moolah!
Soy sauce tastes better fresh
Pearl River is nicer
I don’t mind kum, but I love pearl river down my throat even more
Bought two after work 😄
Thursday night drinking?
