Copied from the package as of the date checked. The label is shown in Japanese as printed; tap an ingredient to see its English name and role. The links in the table below lead to our Ingredients A–Z and food additive database. The soybean in the allergen labeling does not appear directly in the ingredient list. It is thought to be contained in the chuno sauce and so on (not checked against the manufacturer’s materials). The package also says that “野菜の繊維が残る場合があるが品質上問題ない” (vegetable fibers may remain, which is not a quality problem) and “開封後は密封して冷蔵庫に保管” (after opening, seal and keep in the refrigerator).
