Every soy, teriyaki and Asian cooking sauce broken down by realistic serving, with salt compared against NHS daily reference intakes.
Soy sauce is one of the saltiest things in a kitchen. A single tablespoon can carry a substantial share of an adult's daily allowance and most of a young child's.
Reduced-salt soy sauce typically carries around 40 per cent less and tastes close enough that most people do not notice in cooking.
Tamari is not automatically lower in salt. It differs on gluten content rather than sodium.
Hoisin, teriyaki and oyster sauces carry added sugar alongside the salt, so they contribute to both figures.
Fish sauce is the most concentrated of the group and is used in the smallest quantities, which mostly balances out in practice.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
