Soy allergen

Soy is among the most common food allergens.

MedlinePlus lists soy among the foods that most often cause food allergies. Soy appears in many processed foods.

Food allergy is an immune system reaction, not the same as a food intolerance. Symptoms can include hives, vomiting, or breathing difficulty.

Read ingredient lists for soy and soy-derived ingredients if you are allergic.
