I guess it caught me by surprise. Over the years I have gotten used to the products to avoid, because i have a bit of a soy allergy. It started acting up recently and I had to search for the cause. It turned out to be bread and saltine crackers.
The surprise to me was that it was in almost every brand.
I searched the bread aisle until i almost gave up. Finally got to a bread I had never heard of - Dave's killer 21 grain bread, and that's the only one I could find in the store that didn't list soy. All saltine crackers had soy as an ingredient, with the exception of one selection in Premium saltines, and it was only one style. All the others now list soy.
I suppose if those go away, I'll have to go into home baking.
Doesn't seem that recent. Soy has been in almost every processed or partially processed product I've looked at for the last 10-15 years.
