On this Wiki, nosoy products contain no soy and are not suspected to be contaminated.

Potentially tainted products naturally contain no soy, but may have been processed in a facility that also processes soybeans.

Lowsoy products have a very small amount of soy. Generally, soy must not be listed in the first five ingredients; if specified, it must be less than 2%; and there must not be a readily available alternate product that is soy-free. Some people with soy allergies are able to tolerate a small amount of soy, and soya lecithin is a nearly ubiquitous additive. People who experience severe allergic reactions should not eat lowsoy products.

Soy alert products contain a significant amount of soy and can present serious health issues for people with soy allergies.

Taboo products are principally composed of soy. Eating anything you even suspect to be such a product can be dangerous. For instance, the icing on many snack cakes is little more than sugar mixed with soybean oil. Tofu is made from soy.
