Soy Sauce

Undeterred by its high sodium content, soy sauce is a must-have in every food lover’s pantry. Also, is it even Chinese take out if the Sushi and dumplings came with no soy sauce? It adds quite the flavor to white rice and other Asian dishes as well.

If we just described your love towards the condiment, let us give you one simple piece of advice: do not purchase soy sauce made in China unless you are okay with consuming carcinogens. Almost a whopping 25% of the relish bottles made there have 4-Methylimidazole, a chemical that is toxic and can cause cancer!
