Nope. I really didn't care so much what they were. I just knew that I
didn't want them in my food. I had initially put the stuff in the bin. I
have since taken it out and saved it in case the company wants me to send it
back to them. I have contacted them. Weird thing is that according to
their website there is no store in this immediate area that sells the stuff.
There is a store in Edmonds but I haven't been there in years. The website
does list Central Market but not mine. Perhaps I got it at Big Lots? Don't
know.
