Ingredients with an unresolved source
The oil source is not identified as plant-derived.
Natural flavours can come from plant or animal sources.
This additive can be manufactured from plant or animal-derived raw materials unless its source is stated.
A named animal-style flavour may be synthetic, plant-derived, or made with animal ingredients unless its source is specified.
Niacin is normally synthesized, but the manufacturing source is not confirmed by this ingredient list.
The source or production method of sauce can vary, so it is not always vegan.
Riboflavin can be produced by fermentation or other processes; the manufacturing source is not confirmed here.
Limits in this record
- milk appears in structured source data but not in the parsed direct ingredient list, so it was not treated as confirmed.

Nutrition & processing, separately explained
- Source Nutri-Score

- Source NOVA group
- 4 of 4
- Veganory indicator
- Not rated
- Indicator inputs
- Insufficient data
Nutri-Score is the grade reported in the source, not a score calculated or certified by us. NOVA describes processing. The Veganory indicator is a separate estimate; it does not determine whether a product is vegan.

How our indicator is calculated
When available, Nutri-Score A–E maps to 92, 74, 55, 34 or 16 points. With NOVA present, we combine 80% of those points with 20% of the processing indicator (100, 82, 52 or 16 for groups 1–4). Without NOVA we use the nutrition points alone. Without a usable Nutri-Score, we do not rate the product. This is a simplified comparison aid, not a validated health assessment.

Questions about this product
Is this answer valid for every Nongshim product?
No. This page covers Nongshim Premium Tonkotsu Ramen, barcode 0031146053414. Other flavours, package versions or recipes sold in different countries may differ. Match the barcode and ingredient list on your package.
What still needs to be confirmed?
The source of unspecified oil, natural flavours, source-dependent additives, animal-style flavouring, niacin, sauce, riboflavin needs clarification. Check the current package for a vegan certification or ask the manufacturer about these exact ingredients. A confidence label is not a certification.
Does “may contain” make it non-vegan?
A precautionary trace statement describes possible cross-contact, not an ingredient intentionally included in the recipe. We keep it separate from the recipe assessment. This distinction does not establish allergy safety.
Is the nutrition rating the same as the vegan result?
No. Vegan status concerns ingredient origin. Nutri-Score describes a nutrition profile, NOVA describes processing, and the Veganory score is our own combination of available indicators. A vegan result does not mean a food is nutritionally balanced.
What if my label is different?
