Health and Safety Considerations

1. High Sodium Content:
   • Like most soy sauces, this product is very high in sodium (typically 1,500–2,000mg sodium per 100ml).
   • Health warning: Excessive consumption may contribute to hypertension or other sodium-related health issues. The WHO recommends limiting added salt to <5g/day (≈2g sodium). A single tablespoon (~15ml) of soy sauce can exceed 10% of this limit.
   • Moderation is advised, especially for individuals with heart conditions, kidney disease, or hypertension.
