Qianhe Clean-Label Soy Sauce

Clean label generally refers to simpler ingredient lists and clear product information. For this Qianhe range, the focus is on selected soy sauces and condiments whose recipes can be reviewed product by product. Ingredients and product claims vary across the wider Qianhe portfolio, so the selected formula is the starting point for evaluating your requirements.

No. Recipes vary by product and export version. Examples from our product catalogue include:

• 180-Day Soy Sauce: water, non-GMO soybeans, wheat, salt and sugar.
• 380-Day Soy Sauce: water, non-GMO soybeans, wheat and salt.
• Reduced-Salt Light Soy Sauce: water, non-GMO soybeans, wheat and salt.

The 180-day recipe includes added sugar, while the listed 380-day and reduced-salt recipes do not list sugar as an ingredient. All three contain soy and wheat. Compare the complete ingredient list for your selected product; brewing duration alone does not describe every difference between recipes.

Light soy sauce is typically selected for seasoning, dipping sauces and marinades. Dark soy sauce is commonly used to add deeper colour to braises, stews and sauces. Our catalogue includes both premium dark soy sauce and mushroom dark soy sauce, with recipes that differ from the light soy sauces.

Choose according to the flavour, colour and ingredient requirements of your application. Explore our light soy sauce range and dark soy sauce options to compare product styles.

Yes. Our catalogue includes a reduced-salt light soy sauce made with water, non-GMO soybeans, wheat and salt, in a 500 mL format with 12 bottles per carton.

A clean-label recipe does not automatically mean reduced salt. When comparing products, check the sodium value, serving size and the reference product used for any reduction claim. See our reduced-salt soy sauce options and request the nutrition information for the formula intended for your market.

The 180-day, 380-day and reduced-salt recipes described above contain wheat and should not be selected as gluten-free products. Clean label and gluten-free are separate requirements.

For projects requiring a different formulation, Qianhe offers custom gluten-free soy sauce development. This is a development service rather than a standard stock item. Share your target market, intended use, pack size and testing requirements so the project can be assessed.

No. The selected soy sauce recipes above specify non-GMO soybeans. This describes the soybean ingredient; it does not mean that every product is certified organic or that the finished product carries a particular third-party non-GMO certification.

If your purchasing specification requires organic certification, explore our organic soy sauce range and ask for the current certificate and product scope relevant to your destination market.

Selected options include rice vinegars and reduced-salt oyster sauce. For example, our glutinous rice white vinegar lists water, glutinous rice, rice and sugar. The 555 g reduced-salt oyster sauce lists oyster juice, brewed soy sauce, water, sugar and starch; it contains oyster, and its full allergen information should be checked for the selected export formula.

These products have different recipes and functions. Vinegars can complement dressings and dipping sauces, while oyster sauce can add savoury flavour and body to cooked sauces. Explore the vinegar product range when planning a complementary assortment.

Examples from our standard catalogue include:

• 500 mL × 12: selected light and dark soy sauces, reduced-salt light soy sauce and rice vinegars.
• 1.28 L × 6: selected First Fresh Light Soy Sauce and Mushroom Dark Soy Sauce products.
• 555 g × 8: Reduced-Salt Oyster Sauce.

Pack size and recipe must be matched to the selected item. For larger foodservice volumes, request a formula and packaging recommendation for your application. English-label products and brand-specific projects should be checked separately. Visit our OEM and private label services to discuss your own-brand requirements.

Shelf life varies by product and pack size. Catalogue examples for selected standard products include:

• 180-Day Light Soy Sauce, 500 mL: 24 months.
• Reduced-Salt Light Soy Sauce, 500 mL: 18 months.
• Glutinous Rice White Vinegar, 500 mL: 36 months.
• Reduced-Salt Oyster Sauce, 555 g: 18 months.

The shelf life and storage instructions on the supplied product's label apply to your order. Request the unopened and after-opening storage instructions, together with the remaining shelf life at shipment, when planning distribution or foodservice use.

For a purchasing review, request the complete ingredient list, allergen declaration, nutrition information, product specification, packing details and applicable certificates for the selected item. If you need a certificate of analysis or specific test results, include those requirements in your enquiry so availability can be confirmed.

Our quality and safety information provides an overview of our approach. Certification should be checked for the relevant product, manufacturing site, destination market and validity period.

Our standard export quotation lists a reference minimum of 100 cartons per product for the items it covers. For a product packed as 500 mL × 12 bottles, this equals 1,200 bottles.

The final MOQ should be confirmed against the selected product code, packaging and label version. Private label, custom formulations and products outside that quotation require a separate assessment. Tell us your expected order quantity and product mix so the export team can confirm the applicable order requirements.

Send your company name, destination market, products of interest, preferred pack size and estimated order quantity. Include any ingredient exclusions, certification requirements, label language and required delivery date.

Our export team can then confirm the relevant product information, sample arrangements, quotation and estimated supply schedule. Sample availability, costs and delivery timing are confirmed for the specific request. For a repeat order, include the product code or a label photo to help identify the correct version.
