The full answer
Yes — soy itself is naturally gluten-free
Soybeans and plain soy products (tofu, edamame) are naturally gluten-free. The main exception is soy sauce, which traditionally contains wheat — this is one of the most common hidden sources of gluten in Asian cuisine specifically.
What to watch for
Processed soy products like veggie burgers or flavored tofu can also contain added gluten-based ingredients, so checking labels remains important even for naturally gluten-free base ingredients.
Important context
