What is in it
Ingredients (as submitted): WHITE HOMINY PREPARED WITH WATER, SALT, CITRIC ACID AND HYDRATED LIME TO ENHANCE FLAVOR.
The statement lists 3 ingredients at the top level, beginning with White Hominy Prepared with Water, Salt, Citric Acid and Hydrated Lime To Enhance Flavor.. 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 Jul 28, 2018), not the label on the shelf today.
