What is in it
Ingredients (as submitted): 100% ORGANIC ROYAL BLACK QUINOA*
The statement lists 1 ingredient at the top level, beginning with 100% Organic Royal Black Quinoa*. 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 Oct 15, 2018), not the label on the shelf today.
