Ingredients, one by one
| On the label | Type | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 有機にんにく加工品（有機にんにく、有機食用ひまわり油、食塩、有機濃縮レモン果汁）organic processed garlic (organic garlic, organic edible sunflower oil, salt, organic concentrated lemon juice) | Ingredient | Main ingredient | A raw material of garlic made into paste, and the parentheses give what is in that raw material (labeling of a compound ingredient). The only salt in this product is the salt in this item. The front says “フランス産オーガニックのにんにく” (French organic garlic). |
| 有機食用ひまわり油organic edible sunflower oil | Ingredient | Oil, smoothness | Oil from organically grown sunflower seeds. In the nutrition facts, fat is 26.7 g per 100 g, so about a quarter of the paste is oil. |
| 有機濃縮レモン果汁organic concentrated lemon juice | Ingredient | Sourness | Lemon juice that has been concentrated. Juice is treated as a food, so it is different from the additive “酸味料” (acidulant). |
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).
