Dietary information

Indomie Mi Goreng is certified Halal (حلال, halāl, halaal).

Indomie Mi Goreng contains phenylalanine, so individuals suffering from phenylketonuria should avoid the seasoning. Indomie Mi Goreng also contains Monosodium glutamate (MSG : listed as flavour enhancer 621), making it unsuitable for some individuals with "severe, poorly controlled asthma".[7] Additionally flavour enhancer 631 is derived from either meat or sardines and flavour enhancer 627 is derived from either sardines or yeast extract. The inclusion of flavour enhancer 631 effectively makes Indomine Mi goreng unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans.[8]
