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 heading on the back of the package is “ムソーの洋風スープの素 野菜のおかげ” (Muso’s Western-style soup base, Yasai no Okage). The official product name has “〈国内産野菜使用〉” (made with domestic vegetables), but the ingredient list on the label does not give the origin of the vegetables. The allergen column (28 items, including those recommended for labeling) says “小麦・大豆” (wheat, soybeans). It says one pack (5 g) dissolved in about 300 ml of hot water makes soup, and about 3 to 4 servings of stuffed cabbage rolls. There are notes to stir well each time you add it because it is granulated, and to avoid high temperature and humidity because it easily absorbs moisture.

What the maker says it does not use
This is based on the back of the package (“動物性エキスを使用していない”, no animal-based extracts used) and the product page on the Muso official site (“原材料に動物性エキスは使用しておりません”, no animal-based extracts are used in the ingredients).
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).

This is the ingredient list from Ajinomoto’s official page (checked 2026-09-30). Food additives are shown in red. The differences are that it uses umami seasoning (amino acids, etc.) and an acidulant, and contains meat extracts such as chicken extract and beef extract, and lactose. The largest ingredient is salt in both.
