The table is per 100 grams, not a total for eight balls or a complete plate. Apple, chicken, egg, gelatin, milk, soy and wheat are explicitly declared. Factory-handled allergens form a separate category; kitchen cross-contact remains possible, and pistachio and macadamia status is unconfirmed. [1]

distinctions
A chickpea description does not settle the dietary status of this entire meal. The Japanese product panel explicitly lists chicken and gelatin among its allergens or declared ingredients, alongside egg and milk. We preserve that operator statement without guessing which sauce or component accounts for it. The Norway publicity photograph shows an IKEA falafel, not the Japanese plated meal; it establishes neither the couscous portion nor the Japanese recipe. [1] [4]
