What the highlights mean

Animal-derived

  • チキン chicken (meat)
  • ポーク pork (meat)
  • ミンチ meat
  • 卵 egg
  • えび shrimp (fish and seafood)
  • 乳成分 milk (dairy) · in the allergen labelling, though no ingredient in the list names it, so it's probably inside one whose own ingredients aren't listed. (A few makers also misuse this line for shared equipment.)

Could be animal- or plant-derived

  • 香味調味料 seasoning mix: Mixed seasonings often contain meat or fish extract.
  • たん白加水分解物 protein hydrolysate: Broken-down protein from soy or wheat, or from meat or fish.
  • 調味料（アミノ酸等） seasoning: Usually MSG and nucleotides fermented from sugarcane or starch. But a few amino acids and nucleotides allowed under this name come from animals (feathers, gelatin, fish), and the label doesn't say which were used.
  • 乳化剤 emulsifier: Mostly made from soy in Japan, but can be made from animal fat.
  • 香料 flavouring: Flavourings can come from animal or plant sources.
