What to know about sesame dressing
Sesame dressing is a composite trigger: the soy sauce base brings free glutamate and usually gluten, the sesame brings the sesame allergen, and the rice vinegar or mirin can add a little sulfite and tyramine. So a salad that reads as healthy can stack several sensitivities into one drizzle, which is why reactions are common and hard to pin on a single food.
Watch for
- High in free glutamate from the soy sauce, an MSG-like trigger for glutamate-sensitive people
- Usually contains gluten, because most soy sauce is brewed with wheat (tamari is the gluten-free exception)
- Contains sesame, one of the nine major labeled allergens
- Small amounts of sulfite and tyramine from the vinegar and fermented soy can add up for the very sensitive
