What is in it
Ingredients (as submitted): Fortified yellow corn masa flour (ground yellow corn, hydrated lime, folic acid), blend of vegetable oils (corn oil, soybean oil), water.
The statement lists 3 ingredients at the top level, beginning with Fortified Yellow Corn Masa Flour (ground Yellow Corn, Hydrated Lime, Folic Acid). 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 Jan 1, 2026), not the label on the shelf today.
