Vegetarian Furikake (Ovo-Lacto): Products With No Listed Meat or Fish

Out of 28 verified products, 6 list no meat, fish, shellfish, or gelatin. Egg and dairy are allowed in this screen.

These are vegetarian candidates, not certified vegetarian products. This database does not track vegetarian certification. "Candidate" means the official label lists no meat, fish, shellfish, other seafood, or gelatin ingredient that we could find — it does not rule out shared production lines, trace contamination, or undisclosed ingredient sources (like the base of a generic "seasoning"). Verify with the manufacturer if you follow a strict vegetarian diet.

How we check this

A product qualifies only if fish, shellfish, meat, and gelatin are allexplicitly free of listed ingredients on the label, and it doesn't list an allergen code for squid, abalone, salmon roe, salmon, mackerel, shrimp, crab, beef, pork, chicken, or gelatin. We also re-scan the full Japanese ingredient text for meat/fish terms our automated flags might have missed, as a third safety net. Any uncertainty moves a product to "still checking" instead of this list.

Questions about this list

Is noritama vegetarian?

No — noritama-style furikake typically lists fish (bonito flakes) and sometimes egg or meat seasoning on the label. Check the specific product's "Can I eat this?" section for the exact ingredients.

Does "vegetarian" here include egg and dairy?

Yes — this list is ovo-lacto vegetarian: no listed meat, fish, shellfish, or gelatin, but egg and dairy are allowed. If you avoid egg and dairy too, see ourvegan candidates list instead.
