Most soy products, such as tofu, edamame, and tempeh, are naturally gluten-free. However, some processed soy products, like soy sauce, may contain gluten if made with wheat. It's essential to check labels for any gluten-containing ingredients or certifications for gluten-free products. Always opt for tamari or gluten-free soy sauce if you need to avoid gluten entirely.
