Stories began circulating in the press about cheap
soy sauces made from human hair. These sauces were manufactured in China using a chemical
amino acid extraction process similar to
artificially hydrolyzed soy sauces and then quietly exported to other countries. An investigative report that aired on Chinese television exposed the unsanitary and potentially contaminated sources of the hair:
When asking how the amino acid syrup (or powder) was generated, the manufacturer replied that the powder was generated from human hair. Because the human hair was gathered from salon, barbershop and hospitals around the country, it was unhygienic and mixed with condom, used hospital cottons, used menstrual cycle pad, used syringe, etc
In response, the Chinese government banned production of soy sauces made from hair. Other carcinogens remain, see
3-MCPD.
