The statement lists 37 ingredients at the top level, beginning with Cooked Long Grain Brown Rice (water, Long Grain Brown Rice, Turmeric For Color). 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 May 11, 2018), not the label on the shelf today.
