Is the Agency advising against eating soy sauce from Chinese restaurants and takeaways?
No. The FSA is not advising against using soy sauce in Chinese restaurants or takeaways or at home. Action is being taken over the 6 samples found to contain high levels of 3-MCPD. Given that only 6 of 273 samples tested showed levels above the legal limit set for 3-MCPD, the Agency does not believe this is a widespread problem.
