What if white spots appear on my Soy Sauce or Miso?
A. These are natural yeasts that can occasionally develop under exceptionally warm conditions. Rather than being a sign of poor quality, they indicate that the food has been naturally made using whole ingredients. They are quite harmless and can simply be skimmed off, or shaken to mix back in. To prevent re-occurrence, keep jars and packs sealed and store in a cooler place. Back to topQ.
