Oats count as a gluten cereal under UK labelling and ordinary oats are milled alongside wheat. Certified gluten-free oats are a separate ingredient here.
Traditional kimchi is made with fish sauce and salted shrimp. Vegan kimchi carries neither.

Flags follow UK labelling rules and come from the ingredients as listed, not from any particular brand. Check the packet before cooking for somebody with an allergy.

Worth knowing

Kimchi from a jar usually contains fish sauce or salted shrimp, so this carries fish and crustacean flags. Vegan kimchi drops both.
The egg is fried in the sesame oil rather than the oil going on at the end, so the whole teaspoon ends up in the bowl. That is 36 kcal and most of the flavour.
