Ingredient
- ''This article is about '''ingredients''' in general. There is also an American soul and R&B group called The Main Ingredient.''
An '''ingredient''' is a substance that forms part of a mixture (in a general sense). For example, in cooking, recipes specify which ingredients are used to prepare a specific dish. Many commercial product (business)|products contain a secret ingredient that is purported to make them better than competing products. In the pharmaceutical industry, an active ingredient is that part of a formulation that yields the effect required by the customer.
Sovereign state|National laws usually require prepared food products to display a list of ingredients, and specifically require that certain food additive|additives be listed.
In most developed countries, the law requires that ingredients be listed according to their relative weight["FDA: A Food Labeling Guide", April 2008.] in the product. If an ingredient itself consists of more than one ingredient (such as the cookie pieces which are a part of "cookies and cream" flavor ice cream), then that ingredient is listed by what percentage of the total product it occupies, with its own ingredients displayed next to it in brackets.
