Cereal Extract (malt)
Malt-derived flavouring and browning ingredient used in breakfast cereals. Typically the source of a wheat or barley allergen declaration on products that are otherwise corn- or rice-based — relevant for coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity.
Iodized Salt
Ordinary salt with added iodine, a public-health fortification measure in Sri Lanka. Not a concern in itself, but usually the main sodium contributor in savoury and baked products.
