I have a friend who can't eat soy. We had her over for dinner.
A salad sounds nice. Wait, salad dressing has soy. OK, we'll make our own salad dressing. Wait, store-bought mayo has soy. Ok, make our own mayo.
The hole kept getting bigger the more we read labels.

Ground lamb, ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion, fresh parsley, black pepper. Mix, knead, pan fry in oil. You can make your own meat balls very easily. Hard to screw up.
Bake torn up or sliced bread in oven until it's dried out, then crumble to get your own bread crumbs. If your butcher doesn't carry ground lamb, they will grind it for you if you ask. You can also buy a beef steak or roast and have them grind that for better quality ground beef.

Nearly anything pre prepared has some in it, used as a cheaper filler. Make your own sauce and meatballs

Even things like butter has soy in it these days. I always read the labels and find that organic labelled food is generally soy free, but you still have to checkc. And there is no additive that I know of that makes food better than the normal recipe so anytime I see things like "emulsifier" or "flavour enhancer" on the label I avoid it like the plague.

They always say people who prepare their own food are a lot healthier...
Healthier, and it tastes way better. Even pasta sauce - grab a can of organic tomato sauce, and toss in your own fresh herbs... way better, and not difficult. Pots and pans do tend to build to, though....

Getting more paranoid of yellow prussiate of soda (ferrocyanide) in salt.

i just checked all my salts - morton, cento, and some himilayan pink - and none have this yellow prussiate in them. who is adding that?
