Udon is a thick, chewy wheat noodle dish originating from Japan. Like pasta, it is made from wheat flour, but the noodles are considerably thicker and have a springy, satisfying texture. Allgroo Seafood Udon combines these udon noodles with a broth made from katsuobushi (dried fermented tuna), squid extract, anchovy extract, and other seafood ingredients to deliver a deep, rich umami flavour. It is prepared as a soup-based dish, allowing you to enjoy the taste of a classic Japanese-style seafood noodle bowl conveniently at home.

Allgroo Seafood Udon contains the following 4 allergens from the 14 mandatory categories required under EU Regulation No 1169/2011. ① Gluten: derived from three sources — wheat flour, wheat gluten, and soy sauce. ② Fish: present in two forms — katsuobushi (dried fermented tuna) and anchovy extract. Those with a fish allergy should take particular care. ③ Soybeans: contained in soybean oil, emulsifier (E322), and soy sauce. ④ Molluscs: squid extract is included.

No. Allgroo Seafood Udon is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians, as it contains various animal-derived seafood ingredients including katsuobushi (dried fermented tuna), squid extract, and anchovy extract. It is also not a gluten-free product. Gluten is derived from three ingredients — wheat flour, wheat gluten, and soy sauce — so those with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity should not consume this product. It is also not halal certified.

Yes, Allgroo Seafood Udon contains naturally fermented ingredients. Most notably, soy sauce (Ganjang) is a condiment made by naturally fermenting soybeans and wheat — much like European cheese or wine, the fermentation process generates complex, layered flavours that cannot be achieved otherwise. Additionally, katsuobushi is tuna that has been dried, smoked, and fermented, and serves as a key source of umami in Japanese cuisine. Together, these naturally fermented ingredients create a flavour that is neither simply salty nor sweet, but rich and multi-dimensional.
