What the highlights mean

Animal-derived

  • 豚肉 pork (meat) · 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

  • 乳化 emulsifier: Mostly made from soy in Japan, but can be made from animal fat.
  • 油脂 fats and oils: Can be vegetable or animal fat; labels usually say 植物油脂 when it's vegetable.
  • 調味料(アミノ酸) 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.
  • 香料 flavouring: Flavourings can come from animal or plant sources.

A seasoning mix for cooking saffron-flavoured rice.
