What Is Soy Milk?

Soy milk is a milk alternative that is made from soybeans. The soybeans are soaked, blended, then strained. The result is a white and creamy, milk-like beverage. In addition, there is unsweetened, sweetened, and flavored soy milk.

This milk alternative can be used in any way that cow's milk, thanks to its mild flavor and creamy texture. It is a popular milk alternative for vegan bakers as it reacts similarly to cow's milk in baked goods.

Soy milk from the store can include additives like sweeteners, preservatives, minerals, etc. These are to make the soy milk more similar to cow's milk or to help them last longer on store shelves.

Answer: Is Soy Milk Gluten Free?

Usually, yes. Soybeans are naturally gluten-free, so plain store-bought soy milk should be free from gluten. However, things get a bit tricky when soy milk has sweeteners or flavorings. For example, some brands use wheat and barley-based sweeteners. Both wheat and barley have gluten, making these brands of soy milk unsafe to consume for those with Celiac disease or gluten allergies.

Most brands use gluten-free additives, but it's always best to carefully read the ingredient's label and allergen statement. These will show you if there are any traces of gluten-containing ingredients that could affect you. Many brands are completely gluten-free, so don't worry about not finding safe soy milk!

When it comes to issues of cross-contamination, it's best to buy a brand of soy milk that is certified gluten-free. That means the soy milk has been tested for gluten and has less than 20ppm of gluten. This label will always be your best bet. If you are still worried, soy milk is surprisingly easy to make at home. There are plenty of fabulous recipes, so try making your own and take control of what goes into your soy milk.
