[edit] Sauces contamination

In 2001 the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency found in tests of various sauces including soy sauces that some 22% of samples contained a chemical carcinogen called 3-MCPD at levels considerably higher than those deemed safe by the European Union as well as 1,3-DCP its derivative. This included Uni-President Enterprises Corporation (統一企業公司) creamy soy sauce from Taiwan.

After the UK ban, the companies continue to use the fast soy protein hydrolyzation method instead of slow traditional fermentation, but modify production and filter out contaminants to meet standards. This means that there are still some residues of 3-MCPD, but for 1,3-DCP, its derivative there is no standard, scientists said that cancer found in reproductive cells caused by 1,3-DCP could be passed on to children who have never consumed the products.
