SOJASUN - FAQ
Do bean sprouts have the same nutrition merits as the soya products?
No. The soya that we use to manufacture our foodstuff is a Leguminous (Glycine max), more commonly known as Yellow Soya. Bean sprouts come from another family (Phaseolus Mungo), which is a small bean resembling lentils, and are used, in particular, in salads and have nothing to do with the beans used to make soya-based products: they are two different plants. The Mungo bean sprouts do not have the same nutrition merits as soya beans.
I cannot find all your products in store, in particular the new ones you introduce. One wonders if they really exist!
Many among you try to find our products in your usual shops. It is true that not all shops offer the whole range: the presence of Sojasun products on the shelves depends on the policy of the outlet or of the chain to which it belongs, and not on our will. However, our customer service is at your disposal to help you find the points of sale closest to you where you can find the product(s) sought.

How much soya-based products should be consumed?
The key to nutrition is to favour diversity, excluding no food and without focusing on a single foodstuff. Soya fits perfectly well in this balance. As an example, the National Nutrition Health Programme (PNNS) recommends the consumption of: bread, cereals, potatoes and pulse; at every meal according to appetite meat and poultry, fished products and eggs: once to twice per day (1) milk and dairy products: 3 times per day (2) water at will in limited quantities: added fats, sweet and alcoholic beverages, salt (favour iodised salt) (3) at least 5 fruit and vegetables per day (4) the ideal being, in addition, to practise at least the equivalent of ½ an hour fast walk per day. (1) Because of its richness in proteins, in particular when associated to cereals (the proteins of which being supplementary) as in our Sojasun prepared meals, soya may be consumed in alternation with the “meat and poultry, fished products and eggs” group. (2) Most Sojasun products being enriched with calcium, they may also be used in alternation with dairy products. (3) As for Sojasun Cooking, used in reasonable quantities, it will allow you to limit the addition of fats in your culinary preparations. (4) The consumption of Sojasun products will contribute to the target of “5 fruit and vegetables per day”, each Sojasun product being “100% plant-based”.
I would like to understand why your soya-based dessert pots have strias?
The fine grooves on the Sojasun pots are there for genuine reasons: by strengthening the pot, the stria allow to limit the thickness of the plastic used and to have a transparent pot, so that the product can be seen. An approach as aesthetic as ecological.
Can soya be part of an energy-restricted diet?
Our Sojasun products will help you lighten your daily energy intake while maintaining pleasure, a key factor to succeed on the waist-line front: Our fermented desserts are a source of proteins and low in fats and saturated fats, with a good proteins/fat ratio (1.6). On average, each pot in the “fruits” range represents 80 Kcal and 12 g of carbohydrates, except for the Nature, with only 50 Kcal and 2 g of carbohydrates, although it is, like the whole range, enriched with calcium (15% of the Recommended Daily Guideline Amount. Slightly more energetic, the “Plaisir” range remain interesting for an occasional treat, with an average of 95 Kcal per pot, and a proteins/fat ratio equivalent (1.7). Our Sojasun drinks are equally a source of proteins and low in fats ( with a proteins/fat ratio of 1.7). a 150 ml glass of Sojasun Calcium drink brings you 5.7 g of proteins, and nearly ¼ of your Recommended Daily Guidelines Amount of calcium, for 70 Kcal. Within our Traiteur range, the Sojasun steaks bear away the palm for proteins richness, with 17 g per steak (i.e. 1/3 of your Recommended Daily Guideline Amounts), and a very good proteins/fats ratio (equal to 3), although remaining low on saturated fats. Their plus over an equivalent product of animal origin is their richness in dietary fibres: with 7 g of fibres per steak, and less than 140 Kcal, here is a precious help for a light but filling meal. For light cooking, albeit tasty, you may use Sojasun Cooking instead of the normal fat: with 17% of fat, it is equivalent to a light cream, with the richness in essential fatty acids in premium. Roughly 30 Kcal and 3 g of carbohydrates by soup spoon.
Is the consumption of soya-based products recommended in the event of gastro-enteritis?
Sojasun fermented drinks and desserts are lactose free (absent from the soya bean), and their fibre content of 1 g/100 g, or less depending on the products (0.5 g/100 ml for the Sojasun Calcium Drink). Thanks to these characteristics, the Sojasun products are especially well tolerated by the digestive system. In the event of gastro-enteritis, we would first recommend that you approach your doctor for bespoke food advice. Generally, first is privileged the consumption of liquids (drinks, soup) in order to fight dehydration (loss of water and mineral salt) caused by diarrhoea and/or vomiting before re-introducing solid food. Then, it is recommended to select food that is not irritating for the colon, in particular low on fermentable fibres (which, by fermenting in the colon, generate an appeal for water in the bowel and worsen the diarrhoea phenomenon). Therefore, fibre-rich food such as whole cereals, raw vegetables, raw fruit and their juice (except banana and peeled apple), and those with laxative properties (such as prune juice). Then is suggested the consumption of some cooked vegetables (carrots in particular), rice, pasta, … with a progressive return to normal food habits. in this context, the consumption of Sojasun Drinks generates no tolerance problem, due to their very low fibre content, and helps to re-hydrate the body. You may alternate them with other liquids, such as water (which you can choose with a strong mineral content, to fight the loss of minerals), and the soups.
I suffer from diabetes, which Sojasun products may I consume?
The target your doctor has given you is probably to ensure a regular intake of food in order to limit the glycaemic variations and have a good nutrition balance. It is normally recommended to choose a carbohydrate balanced diet, calorie limited if overweight, while restricting the intake of plain sugar (your doctor has probably recommend that you limit the added sugar or saccharose). In this context, and besides the Sojasun Nature, which only brings 2 g of carbohydrates per pot (of which 1.6 g of plain sugar), the Sojasun fruit specialities have a total carbohydrate content of 12 g per pot, of which 10 g of plain sugar.
My 17-month old child is allergic to cow’s milk proteins. Can I feed him soyaa-based products, and from what age onwards?
Your child suffering from a proven allergy, we would advise you to firstly check with your paediatrician the absence of allergy to soya. Within our range, only the Growth Sojasun has been formulated to answer the nutrition requirements of the young child (aged 1 to 3). The other Sojasun products have not been designed for these specific nutrition requirements. Since your child suffers from an allergy, the food diversification planned by your paediatrician is probably at a later stage, and certainly very cautious. Like any food, the soya-based products must be introduced gradually in your child’s food. It is therefore with your paediatrician, your foremost advisor on food diversification, that you must determine how you can get your child to taste Growth Sojasun.
I find your Sojasun Yoghurts too sweet.
The Sojasun fermented desserts contain an average of 12 g of carbohydrates (of which 10 g of plain sugar) per 100 g pot, which is similar to the values that apply to similar products in the market. The Nature fermented dessert only contains 2 g of carbohydrates (of which 1.6 g of plain sugar) per 100 g pot. Within the framework of a balanced diet, the total energy supply is divided into 10-15% of proteins, 30-35% of fats and 50-55% of carbohydrates. For an adult woman between the ages of 20 to 40, the recommended energy intake is approximately 2,200 kilocalories per day. The intake of carbohydrates is then 275-300 g/day. Fruit Sojasun fermented dessert represents 4% of the recommended carbohydrate intake.
I am intolerant to gluten, can I consume your products?
We are aware of the challenge to their health that gluten represents for intolerant people; we have therefore developed a policy of control of food risks, which has lead us, for several years, to a strong prevention approach. We require from our suppliers, in particular, renewed guarantees over the absence of traces of gluten. Subsequently, and considering the existing information forwarded by our suppliers, here is the list of Sojasun products containing no gluten: Specialities “Nature”, as well as all the “Fruits”, except “Cereals & Fruit” “Plaisir” desserts : Vanilla, Caramel, Chocolate, Coffee Sojasun Fluid Cooking UHT speciality in the UHT creams sector Drinks “Nature” and “Calcium” in the UHT drinks sector Soya steaks: all six varieties, in the fresh delicatessen sector Prepared meals: “Creole“, “Risotto” in the fresh delicatessen sector. With regards to the wheat fibres present in the list of ingredients of some of our products, they are guaranteed “gluten free”; indeed, these fibres are completely separated from the wheat proteins, in which gluten is present.
I have cholesterol. Is the soya-based foodstuff appropriate?
the Sojasun products are very good in such event, because they contain no cholesterol (which allows to limit the intake of cholesterol), and contain little saturated fats while they provide Omega-3 fats and vegetable proteins. Hence, some Countries like the United States or England allow the soya-based food producers to mention on the packaging that the consumption of 25 g of soya proteins per day (or 6.25 g per food portion) helps reduce the ratio of circulating cholesterol within the framework of a diet low in fats, saturated fats and cholesterol. Within our range, the Sojasun steaks are the richest in soya proteins, with 17 g of proteins per steak. Amongst the other Sojasun products, we recommend the Sojasun Nature fermented desserts, which is cholesterol free, is poor in fats and saturated fats, and is a natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids. On another hand, we recommend the use of Cooking Sojasun instead of standard fats, for its richness in essential fatty acids, and because it only provides 17% of fats. Finally, you may use in the kitchen the Sojasun Nature drinks (savoury recipes) or Sojasun Calcium) (sweet recipes), or in your hot or cold drinks.
I find it difficult to digest dairy products; can I consume soya-based products?
Some people are intolerant to lactose, the digestion of this sugar leading to feelings of bloating; you may be concerned with this discomfort.. the Sojasun with fruits, the Sojasun “Plaisir” and the Sojasun drinks are lactose free, and have a fibre content of approximately 1 g/100 g, if not less depending on the products. Thanks to that. The Sojasun products are especially well tolerated during the digestion process.
With regards to the intake of calcium, all the Sojasun with Fruits, the Sojasun Vitalité, the “Plaisir” range, the drinks (except the Nature drink) and the Prepared Meals (“Plates”) contain 120 mg of calcium/100 g, i.e. 15% of the Recommended Daily Guidelines Amount. As a matter of comparison, this is as much as in 100 ml of milk. There is hence no risk of calcium deficiency if you consume the Sojasun products.
At what age can on start on the Sojasun yoghurts?
Within our range, only the Growth Sojasun has been formulated to answer the nutrition requirements of the young child (aged 1 to 3). The other Sojasun products have not been designed for these specific nutrition requirements. If your child suffers from an allergy, the food diversification planned by your paediatrician is probably at a later stage, and certainly very cautious. Like any food, the soya-based products must be introduced gradually in your child’s food according to your paediatrician’s recommendations.
I have read that soya is good for post-menopause women. Can you tell me more?
Menopause, which occurs on average at the age of 50, is defined as the complete halt of the reproduction function in women. Physiologically, it is made manifest by a decrease of secretion of feminine hormones: the oestrogens. This stoppage of oestrogens secretion leads to a number of effects, more or less visible: The sudden flushes are certainly the most spectacular and inconvenient. Indeed, they consist in a heat wave affecting the bust and head. Other consequence of the hormonal decrease: osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a gradual decalcification of the bones, leading, in term, to risks of more or less serious fractures (neck of the femur, …) Menopause is also accompanied by drying out of the skin and mucous, and other symptoms such as outburst of temper, putting on weight, … Soya and the menopause Soya contains naturally a category of polyphenols, the isoflavones, often referred to as “phyto-oestrogens”. These natural substances have the distinctiveness of resembling the feminine oestrogens. In Asia, where traditional food contains a lot of soya, post-menopause women suffer less from sudden flushes than western women. In addition, osteoporosis is much less frequent. Several factors may be involved, including the food diet. Soya is one of these factors under survey. Several studies have indeed shown that the daily consumption of soya-based food reveals a reduction of the sudden flushes intensity and frequency in some women. Other studies suggest a favourable effect of the soya-based food on the mineral density of the bones. It is however too early to assert that a soya-rich diet may contribute to the prevention of osteoporosis.
In your Nature and fruit desserts, you mention the presence of “lactic ferments”. Does that mean that there is presence of milk?
Ferments are live micro-organisms, i.e. neither of animal or vegetable origin; these strains have been selected by us for their ability to ferment the soya. They confer to the product its texture, unctuousness and subtle taste. All the products in the Sojasun range are guaranteed 100% of plant origin, and contain no milk.
Can soya steaks be frozen?
Like any cooked food, the “soya steaks” may be frozen; however, in order to protect the texture and taste of the product, we recommend that you do not store them too long in the freezer.
Can the soya-based drinks be heated or used in the kitchen?
Yes, the soya-based drinks may be used like any other milk; they can be heated in a pan, in the microwave, used in the kitchen in gratins, creams and desserts, béchamel, pancake batter, … The Sojasun Nature drink may be used for savoury or sweet preparations, the Sojasun Calcium should be reserved for sweet preparations because it is already slightly sweet. (It may happen that the drink curdles when added to tea or milk. It depends on the tea or coffee brand.).
Ok for the soya, but what about the calcium?
The Sojasun fresh desserts will provide you with 120 mg of calcium per pot, just like a traditional yoghurt. Among our drinks, Sojasun Calcium, Sojasun Chocolate and Sojasun Vanilla are also enriched with calcium (120 mg for 100 ml).
