Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains corn syrups and invert sugar, dextrose, maltodextrin, modified starches, emulsifiers, flavourings, flavour enhancers, preservatives, emulsifying and buffering salts and protein and dairy fractions.

Sweeten and control texture more cheaply than sugar alone. Found in the Sweet Onion Teriyaki glazed chicken.

Dextrose

A simple sugar used for browning, bulk and mild sweetness. Found in the Sweet Onion Teriyaki glazed chicken.

Maltodextrin

Bulks out a product and carries flavour, with little taste of its own. Found in the Sweet Onion Teriyaki glazed chicken.

Modified starches

Starches altered industrially to thicken, bind or hold texture through freezing and reheating. Found in the Sweet Onion Teriyaki glazed chicken.

Emulsifiers

Help oil-based and water-based ingredients blend and stay blended. Found in the American cheese.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the Sweet Onion Teriyaki glazed chicken.

Flavour enhancers

Boost savoury taste so less of the underlying ingredient is needed. Found in the Sweet Onion Teriyaki glazed chicken.

Preservatives

Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components, and keep cured meats pink. Found in the Sweet Onion Teriyaki glazed chicken and American cheese.

Emulsifying and buffering salts

Let processed cheese melt smoothly, keep cured meats moist, or hold acidity steady. Found in the Sweet Onion Teriyaki glazed chicken and American cheese.

Protein and dairy fractions

Isolated proteins and dairy by-products used to add bulk, structure or a creamy texture. Found in the Sweet Onion Teriyaki glazed chicken.
