In 2001, the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency (FSA) 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.[2]
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ, formerly ANZFA) followed FSA research and took actions. "President Creamy Soy Sauce" from Taiwan is on the ban list in the second round testing.[3]
