Soy yogurt

Other names Yaourt de soja, Soy yoghurt
Soy yogurt: moderate in nickel; low in FODMAPs, histamine, oligosaccharides, sucrose and tyramine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- NickelModerate
Soy yogurt is fermented soy drink, so it carries the drink's nickel rather than the bean's - diluted, but eaten in pot-sized portions rather than sipped.

- FODMAPsLow
Soy yogurt is low although the soybean is one of the highest-GOS foods there is, because it has been fermented from the drink, and the culture eats what the dilution left. Soy is the clearest illustration on this axis that processing decides the level rather than the plant: the same bean gives natto at the top and this at the bottom.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Soy yogurt is cultured, so it has a clock the way dairy yogurt does - but the culture is short, chosen for acidity rather than for the long ripening that builds amines. What raises it is age in the fridge after opening, not the recipe.
- OligosaccharidesFODMAPsLow
Soy yoghurt is fermented twice over in effect - the base is usually made from isolate or strained soy milk, and the cultures then consume more sugar. The answer depends on the base rather than on the culture.

- SucroseLow
Soy yogurt is low in sucrose because the cultures eat part of the added sugar during fermentation. As with every made product on this axis, the recipe decides rather than the ingredient - an unsweetened version and a sweetened one are different foods here.
- TyramineLow
Soy yogurt is cultured, and culture is what makes tyramine - but the culture here is short and chosen for acidity, not the months of ripening that build amines in an aged cheese. Plant milks and their ferments have been surveyed; the quick-set ones stay low.

Frequently asked questions
Which intolerances does Soy yogurt affect?
Soy yogurt is notable for nickel, FODMAPs, histamine, oligosaccharides, sucrose and tyramine. Clear on lactose, gluten, fructose, sorbitol, salicylate and oxalates.
Does Soy yogurt contain nickel?
Soy yogurt contains moderate levels of nickel. Soy yogurt is fermented soy drink, so it carries the drink's nickel rather than the bean's - diluted, but eaten in pot-sized portions rather than sipped.
Does Soy yogurt contain FODMAPs?
Soy yogurt contains only low levels of FODMAPs. Soy yogurt is low although the soybean is one of the highest-GOS foods there is, because it has been fermented from the drink, and the culture eats what the dilution left. Soy is the clearest illustration on this axis that processing decides the level rather than the plant: the same bean gives natto at the top and this at the bottom.
Does Soy yogurt contain histamine?
Soy yogurt contains only low levels of histamine. Soy yogurt is cultured, so it has a clock the way dairy yogurt does - but the culture is short, chosen for acidity rather than for the long ripening that builds amines. What raises it is age in the fridge after opening, not the recipe.
Does Soy yogurt contain oligosaccharides?
Soy yogurt contains only low levels of oligosaccharides. Soy yoghurt is fermented twice over in effect - the base is usually made from isolate or strained soy milk, and the cultures then consume more sugar. The answer depends on the base rather than on the culture. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
