Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
Both Pere Noel and Rennes Chocolat use ingredients containing egg, milk, and wheat (fresh cream, whole egg, egg yolk, milk, wheat flour, chocolate, and others) as well as gelatin, and Rennes Chocolat’s ingredient list also shows an “emulsifier (soy-derived)” entry. Both products carry a notice that “this factory also manufactures products containing cashew nuts and walnuts,” which is a note about possible cross-contamination from other products made on the same line, not an ingredient. Cashew nuts and walnuts do not appear in the ingredient list itself.Source: product label (from LP image, visually confirmed)
The included Sugar Santa ornament is manufactured at a separate factory (Art Candy Co., Ltd.) and is labeled as made on a shared line with products containing wheat, egg, and milk.Source: product label (from LP image, visually confirmed)
Note that egg, milk, and wheat are among the specified allergens that must be declared under Japan’s Food Labeling Act. If you have an allergy, please contact the shop before buying or check the food information label on the product when it arrives.
