I was researching seafood the other day and I was surprised by what I found in the frozen shrimp section.
When I see “Sweet and Sour” anything, I expect that it has soy sauce in and most soy sauce used as a commercial ingredient seems to have wheat in it. I picked up a Thai Sweet and Sour Shrimp package and was pleasantly surprised to see no soy sauce listed and the product ingredients were gluten free.
But when I picked up the Herb and Garlic shrimp package lying beside it in the freezer, I was shocked to see “soy sauce powder (contains wheat)” listed on the ingredients. Certainly not what I would predict.
Yet another reminder of why “read every label every time” has to be our gluten-free shopping motto.
