  • Allergy: Soya Free Diet
    Patient Information Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Allergy: Soya free diet This is a leaflet designed to give you, your family and friends, dietary information and helpful tips on avoiding soya. Introduction Intolerance to the protein in soya can occur. To prevent symptoms, all soya and foods containing it must be removed from your diet. Before going on a soya free diet you should discuss it with your doctor. Removing soya from the diet does not put you at nutritional risk but soya does appear in a wide number of products and not eating these will affect the variety of your diet. If your reactions to soya have been severe and immediate, such as lip swelling, an immediate rash or sickness, do not re- introduce soya without first talking to your doctor or dietitian. If you have removed soya from your diet, as a trial, but have found no improvement after two weeks try slowly reintroducing soya back into your diet. How can I tell if a food contains soya? Food Labelling Every pre-packed food, including alcoholic drinks, sold in the UK and European Union (EU) must show clearly on the label if it contains any of 14 major allergens. These must be highlighted (in bold, colour or underlined) on food labels within the ingredients list. This includes soybeans (soya). It is not compulsory for food manufacturers to use a warning statement – always check the ingredients first. Patient Information Soya is added to a wide range of manufactured products. You will have to check the ingredient list on all manufactured foods to see if soya is present.
