ingredient list

What's inside this

An ingredient list is the enumeration of components in a product, typically food, cosmetics, or medications.

Regulations often require these lists on packaging, with items ordered by quantity.

Reading ingredient lists helps identify allergens, additives, or unwanted substances: I always check the ingredient list for high-fructose corn syrup.
