Ingredients are listed from the largest amount to the smallest, so fats and oils are the biggest part. “国内製造” (made in Japan) means the blended fat was made in Japan; it does not say where the cattle or pigs came from. |
| 小麦粉（小麦：アメリカ産、カナダ産）wheat flour | Ingredient | Thickener | Roux is made by frying wheat flour in fat. The origin shown is from the “主な原材料の産地” (origin of main ingredients) on the official page. |

| でんぷんstarch | Ingredient | Thickener | Starch itself is treated as a food, not a food additive. |

There are four types (I to IV) depending on how it is made, but the label does not show which one is used. |

| 甘味料（スクラロース）sweetener (sucralose) | Food additive | Sweetness | A sweetener hundreds of times sweeter than sugar. Sweeteners are not written under a group name; the rule is to write the purpose name and the substance name together, like “甘味料（〇〇）”, so the label shows what is used. |

Good points and concerns
+Good points
- The official page publishes the origin of 10 main ingredients
- The sweetener is labeled down to the substance name (sucralose)
- 185 g makes 9 servings (the package also gives a way to make 4 to 5 servings with half the roux)
−Concerns
- The ingredient list has 34 items. 7 are additives, including a sweetener (sucralose) and caramel color
- Seasoning (amino acids, etc.), emulsifier, acidulant and flavoring are group names, so the label does not show what is in them
- Salt equivalent is 2.3 g per serving (20.6 g of product)
