Frequently asked questions

Does this ramen contain gluten or soy?

Yes. All current versions use wheat ramen noodles and soy sauce, so there is no gluten-free or soy-free compatible version yet.

Which version should I choose if I avoid egg?

Choose the vegan version. It removes the soft-boiled egg and keeps the wheat noodles, broth and savory toppings.

Are these allergy filters a guarantee?

No. They are a guide based on the listed ingredients and variants. Check noodle, broth and soy sauce labels when needed.
