The statement lists 8 ingredients at the top level, beginning with Corn Syrup, Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, 2% or Less of Egg Whites. It has no separate "Contains" line; a major allergen (the nine the FDA requires on labels: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame) may be named inside the ingredients instead. For allergies, read the package: this is the record USDA holds (updated Jun 11, 2020), not the label on the shelf today.
