What it is
This is not an ingredient. It indicates that a food product contains only the primary food item listed and no added ingredients, such as preservatives, seasonings, or processing aids. It is typically seen on fresh, unprocessed or minimally processed foods like raw meats or produce.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use this label to assure consumers that the product is pure and contains only the main ingredient. It is most often found on raw, unprepared animal products, such as fresh cuts of meat or poultry, to signify they have not been marinated, seasoned, or injected with solutions.
Health notes
As this designation means no ingredients are added, there are no specific health implications associated with it. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not evaluate 'no other ingredients' as an additive. The absence of added ingredients means no artificial colors, preservatives, or sweeteners are present, which may be a preference for some consumers.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. This label signifies the absence of added ingredients, therefore it does not introduce any of the major allergens.
