The package says “小麦粉不使用。国産米粉を使いグルテンフリーで仕上げました” (no wheat flour is used; finished gluten-free with domestic rice flour).
Not found in the ingredient list
This is not the maker's “not used” claim. These are things often seen in similar products that we checked are not written in this product's ingredient list. Additives carried over from ingredients may not be declared, so this does not mean they are absent (about additives not written on labels).
