More about Avoiding Soy

Soybeans and soy products are found in baked goods, canned tuna, cereals, crackers, infant formulas, sauces, dressings, and soups.
At least one brand of peanut butter lists soy on the label.
Soybeans are in many products. Eliminating all soy-containing foods can result in an unbalanced diet. Consult with a dietitian to help you plan for proper nutrition.
