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 package says “本品製造工場では『乳成分』を含む製品を生産しています” (this factory also produces products containing milk ingredients). There is also a note that, because the roux has little fat, it dissolves a little slowly and may form lumps, but it dissolves after a while.
