Regulatory and Safety Notes

1. Health Disclaimers (General for Fermented Soy Sauces):
   • High Sodium Content: Like most soy sauces, this product is high in sodium (typically 1,500–2,000mg per 100g). Excessive consumption may contribute to hypertension or heart issues in sensitive individuals.
   • Preservatives: Some variants contain sodium benzoate (E211) or potassium sorbate (E202), which may be of concern for those with sensitivities or asthma (though generally recognized as safe by regulatory bodies like the FDA and EFSA).
   • Fermentation Process: Naturally fermented soy products are generally safe, but improper fermentation could pose risks (though Orilla is a reputable brand with quality controls).
   • Chili Content: Contains capsaicin (from chili peppers), which may irritate sensitive stomachs or trigger acid reflux in some people.
