Household Ingredients Compared › Frozen Dumplings (Singapore)

Frozen dumplings: what's actually in it?

Gyoza, jiaozi and mandu are all wheat-flour wrappers around a savoury filling — but the filling is the whole story, and it is not interchangeable. A pork dumpling, a chicken dumpling and a vegetable dumpling from the same brand can differ in fat, soy, mushroom, glass noodle and flavour-enhancer content, and some "chicken" gyoza also contain pork fat. This page keeps every filling separate, exactly as the task requires, and never gives one generic dumpling list.

This page does not give a health score, a ranking, or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, flags allergens, and explains the jargon in plain English.

The headline, in 30 seconds

The wrapper is the constant, the filling is the variable. Almost every panelled dumpling uses wheat flour + water (+ oil, salt) for the dough; the differences are cabbage, meat, tofu, glass noodle, mushroom and seasonings in the filling.
"Chicken gyoza" does not always mean chicken-only. CP Chicken Gyoza lists pork fat in its ingredient list, even though chicken is first. Read the whole list, not the front of the pack, if pork matters to you.
Vegetable does not mean short. FairPrice Vegetable Dumplings list soya bean curd, soya bean protein, chive, radish, corn starch and flavour enhancer E621 — longer than some meat dumplings.
Ajinomoto Gyoza Pops are the wrapper exception. They use rice flour (plus waxy rice starch and modified starch) rather than wheat flour — the only panelled dumpling that is not wheat-based in the wrapper itself. Soy sauce in the filling still carries a soy flag; check the pack allergen statement for wheat traces.
Soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger appear in nearly every filling. If soy or sesame is a concern, assume a dumpling contains them until its own list says otherwise.
Dipping sauce sachets are separate. Where a pack includes a sauce sachet, its ingredients are not in the dumpling list below unless stated — check the sachet separately.

Chicken fillings

Karrion Frozen Gyoza Dumplings — Chicken

Pack size: 192g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Chicken, Cabbage, Leek, Garlic, Onion, Pepper, Salt, Seasoning (Milled Sun Dried Mushroom, Mushroom, Mushroom Extract from Fresh Shitake, Soya Protein from Dried Soya Bean Powder, Malt, Palm Oil, Brown Sugar), Sesame Oil, Soya Sauce (Soya Beans, Wheat Flour, Water, Salt, Sodium Benzoate), Sugar, Wheat Flour, Whole Meal Flour and Water

FairPrice Singapore ingredient section. Listing states "No preservatives added" — note sodium benzoate appears inside the soya sauce sub-list, so read that statement as the brand's claim about the finished product, not as "no preservative anywhere in any sub-ingredient". Allergens: gluten (wheat), soy, sesame

CP Chicken Gyoza

Pack size: 400g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Chicken, Wheat Flour, Cabbage, Water, Pork Fat, Modified Starch, Spring Onion, Soy Sauce [Soybean, Sugar, Water, Salt Flavour Enhancer (635)], Soybean Paste (Soybean, Salt, Water, Wheat Flour, Rice Flour, Sugar, Soybean Oil, Garlic, Shallot), Carrot, Sugar, Acidity Regulator (E262(i), E330, 500(i)), Sesame Oil, Salt, Black Pepper, Flavour Enhancer (640), Dextrin, Kombu Seaweed

FairPrice Singapore ingredient section. Read this one carefully: chicken is first, but pork fat is fifth. A halal or pork-free shopper should not rely on the product name alone. Allergens: gluten (wheat), soy, sesame Contains pork fat

An older secondary listing for CP Chicken Gyoza gives a slightly different list (thickener E415/E1412/E1420, palm oil, wheat protein, trehalose, fermented rice, etc.). The panel above is the current FairPrice list retrieved for this page; the older list is noted in research notes, not merged in.

Ajinomoto Gyoza Pops — Chicken & Vegetables

Pack size: 260g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Vegetables (Cabbage, Onion, Garlic Chives), Chicken, Rice Flour, Vegetable Oils [Soybean Oil, Sesame Oil, Palm Olein (Palm Olein, E306, E300, E900)], Waxy Rice Starch, Modified Starch, Trehalose, Isolated Soy Protein (Soybean), Garlic, Salt, Corn Starch, E464, Edible Gum, E621, Soy Sauce (Soybean, Salt, Rice, Alcohol), D-Xylose, E322 (Soybean), Ginger, E631

FairPrice Singapore ingredient section. Described on the listing as light-textured, made from rice flour. Allergens: soy, sesame

What to notice: rice flour replaces wheat flour here, but soy sauce, isolated soy protein and lecithin (E322, soybean) keep the soy flag. Trehalose and D-xylose are sugars used for texture/browning, not table sugar.

CJ Bibigo Potstickers — Chicken & Vegetable — US listing, cross-check SG pack

Pack size: 680g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Chicken, Cabbage, Green Onion, Water, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Contains 2% or less of Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Wheat, Salt), Ginger, Salt, Sesame Oil, Yeast Extract, White Pepper. Enriched Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, 2% or less of Vegetable Oil, Salt.

Open Food Facts US listing for Bibigo Potstickers Chicken & Vegetable (680g). This is not presented as a verified Singapore pack list — it is included because it is the only full Bibigo chicken list retrieved, and to show how much shorter it is than the Singapore CJ Bibigo pork list below. Verify against the SG pack before publishing this panel as an SG list. Allergens: gluten (wheat, barley), soy, sesame

Pork fillings

CJ Bibigo Dumplings — Pork & Vegetables

Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients — Filling: Cabbage, Pork, Bean Thread (Water, Sweet Potato Starch, Carrageean [sic], Salt), Textured Soy Flour (Water, Soy Flour), Onion, Green Onion, Sugar, Monosodium Glutamate, Soy Sauce (Water, Wheat, Soybean, Salt), Garlic, Salt, Ginger, Autolyzed Yeast, Black Pepper. Dough: Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Soybean Oil, Salt. Contains: Soy, Wheat.

FairPrice Singapore ingredient section, filling and dough listed separately as printed. Bean thread (glass noodle) and textured soy flour bulk out the pork filling — this is not a pork-only filling. Allergens: gluten (wheat, barley), soy

CJ Bibigo Mandu Dumpling — Pork & Vegetable — FairPrice list ends in “etc.” — truncated as printed

Pack size: 500g · Made in: USA (as printed)

Ingredients — Filling: Pork, Bean thread, Cabbage, Leek, Onion, Green onion, Textured soy flavour, Tofu, Garlic, Autolyzed yeast extract, Sugar, Salt, etc. Dough: Wheat flour, Water, Modified tapioca starch, Wheat gluten, Soybean oil, and Salt. Contains: Wheat and Soy.

FairPrice Singapore ingredient section, 500g, USA origin. This is a different product from the CJ Bibigo Dumplings — Pork & Vegetables panelled above (different dough — modified tapioca starch and wheat gluten instead of enriched flour — and tofu in the filling). The filling list as printed ends with “etc.”, so it is quoted as a truncated list, not a complete one; the pack should be checked for the full filling list before publish. Allergens: gluten (wheat), soy

Vegetable fillings

FairPrice Frozen Dumplings — Vegetable

Pack size: 675g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Wheat Flour, Cabbage, Soya Bean Curd (Soya Bean, Water), Soya Bean Protein, Green Onion, Chive, Corn Oil, Onion, Radish, Soya Sauce (Soya Bean, Wheat Flour, Water), Flavour Enhancer (E621), Sesame Oil, Sugar, Corn Starch, Salt, Garlic, Ginger, Soya Bean Oil and Spice. Allergen advice: contains gluten and soya.

FairPrice Singapore ingredient section. The protein here is tofu (soya bean curd) plus soya bean protein, not meat — but the list is still long, with E621 and corn starch. Allergens: gluten (wheat), soy, sesame

CJ Bibigo Potstickers — Vegetable — US listing, cross-check SG pack

Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients — Filling: Cabbage, Water, Carrot, Rehydrated Glass Noodle (Water, Sweet Potato Starch, Carrageenan, Salt), Water Chestnut, Soybean Oil, Spinach, Celery, Onion, Edamame, Green Onion, Rehydrated Shiitake Mushroom (Water, Dried Shiitake Mushroom), Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Wheat, Salt), Contains 2% or less of: Sesame Oil, Sugar, Isolated Soy Protein (with less than 2% Lecithin), Modified Food Starch, Yeast Extract, Salt, Methylcellulose, Spices. Dough: Enriched Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Contains 2% or less of: Soybean Oil, Salt.

US label transcription (EWG / LabelINSIGHT). Not a verified Singapore pack list — included as the vegetable counterpart to the pork list above, with the same cross-check warning. Note celery and edamame, which the FairPrice vegetable dumpling does not list. Allergens: gluten (wheat, barley), soy, sesame, celery

Shrimp / prawn fillings

Ajinomoto Prawn Gyoza — producer specification sheet, cross-check SG pack

Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: 26% shelled shrimp (20% shrimp [crustaceans], water, salt, stabilizers (E451, E452)), wheat flour, cabbage, water, potato starch, rapeseed oil, carrot, breadcrumbs (wheat flour, salt, yeast), common mushroom, sesame oil, sugar, salt, egg-white powder, wheat gluten, 0.1% beetroot powder, ginger powder, black pepper, natural flavouring

Ajinomoto producer specification sheet (foodservice database, last edited 2023). This is a specification-sheet list, not a Singapore retail pack transcription, so it is flagged as such — but it is the only full shrimp-gyoza list retrieved, and shrimp is a distinct filling that should not be folded into chicken/pork. Allergens: crustacean (shrimp), gluten (wheat), egg, sesame

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

Dumpling Darlings — Original Pork Gyoza, Veggie Mandu, Chili Prawn & Chicken Dumplings (Little Farms) — listed at littlefarms.com (396g packs, frozen ready meals); no ingredient lists were published on the listings found. The CNY promotion description ("vegetarian mushroom dumplings or pork dumplings") is not an ingredient list.
Ajinomoto Hane Gyoza — Pork (Donki / FairPrice, 276g) — the Don Don Donki Official Store listing on Shopee SG gives a list that cuts off mid-ingredient (“…Egg white, Powdered” — truncated in the listing itself), so it is not panelled as a complete list. The partial list as printed: Vegetables (Cabbage, Onion, Chive, Garlic), Wheat flour, Pork, Granular soy protein (Defatted soybean, Edible vegetable oil, Shortening (Edible vegetable oil, Edible refined processed oil & fat, E322), Corn starch, Rapeseed oil, Sugar, Soy sauce (Defatted soybean, Salt, Wheat, Soy, Ethanol), Protein hydrolysate, Salt, Sesame oil, E621, Spices (Ginger, Salt, White pepper), Flavoured oil (Garlic flavour extract), Egg white, Powdered [truncated]. Do not borrow the US Hane Gyoza Pork & Chicken list (different product, pork + chicken) for the SG pork-only pack.
Kirei Ajinomoto Hane Gyoza — Chicken and Vegetable (FairPrice, 276g, 12 pcs) — listed at FairPrice; the product page returned no ingredient section in this pass, so no list retrieved. Do not borrow the Gyoza Pops list above for Hane Gyoza — different product.
Keisuke Tonkotsu King Gyoza — Pork (Donki / Shopee) — listed by Don Don Donki Official Store on Shopee Singapore; no ingredient list retrieved.
CJ Bibigo — Shrimp & Vegetable, Tofu & Vegetable, Beef Bulgogi gyoza; Mini Mandu Pork & Vegetable and Prawn; Steamed Dumplings (Chicken & Vegetable, Chicken & Coriander, Pork & Vegetable, Kimchi, Japchae) — range names found in UK retail listings; Singapore ingredient sections not retrieved, and UK formulations (e.g. German-made Mini Mandu) may differ from SG packs.
CJ Bibigo — Frozen Crispy Dumplings Pork & Vegetables 500g; Mini Mandu Dumplings — Prawn 360g; Plantable Frozen Mandu — Kimchi 420g; Mandu — Vegetables & Seafood 805g; Mandu Dumpling — Pork 910g — all listed at FairPrice; no ingredient sections retrieved in this pass. (The UK range names in the next item are a separate, overseas list — do not confuse the two.)
Tian Tian Mian Dian Dumplings — Cabbage & Pork 500g; Nan Xiang Frozen Dumplings — Cabbage Pork; Golden Chef Dumpling — Cabbage & Pork; Xin Jia Fu Dumpling — Chives & Pork — all listed at FairPrice; no ingredient sections retrieved in this pass. These are the Chinese jiaozi brands the first pass said needed an in-store check — they are confirmed on the FairPrice shelf, still without lists.
CP — Pork and Chicken Gyoza (with chive, with suki sauce); CP Easy Snack — Japanese Crispy Gyoza — listed at FairPrice; current FairPrice ingredient sections not retrieved. The CP Chicken Gyoza panel above is a different variant.
Seawaves gyoza, TungLok Prawn Dumpling, Din Tai Fung ready-to-heat dumplings — names found in Singapore coverage / FairPrice similar-products; no ingredient lists retrieved.
Giant, Sheng Siong, Cold Storage, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, RedMart, Lazada and Shopee dumpling ranges beyond the above — no further verified lists in this pass; in-store check needed, especially for Chinese jiaozi brands and Korean mandu brands stocked only in those chains.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

Salt on this page is shown as salt = sodium × 2.5: sodium is quoted as printed, with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is never presented as salt. Sugars below are total sugars as printed; where a panel has no sugars line, the table says "not stated". Basis matters here: dumpling panels are as sold (frozen, unprepared) unless a source says otherwise, and per-serving figures are not converted to per-100g. Do not compare the per-serving rows below directly with the per-100g row.

Product	Basis	Energy	Protein	Total fat	Saturated fat	Carbohydrate	Sugars	Sodium (salt equiv.)
CP Chicken Gyoza	Per 100g, as sold — secondary source (FatSecret Singapore), partial panel	187kcal	9.3g	6.2g	not stated	21.4g	not stated	not stated
CJ Bibigo Dumplings — Pork & Vegetables	Per serving (140g), as sold — per serving, not per 100g (FairPrice panel; not converted)	240kcal	11g	6g	2g	36g	3g	550mg (salt 1.38g)
FairPrice Frozen Dumplings — Vegetable	Per serving (135g), as sold — per serving, not per 100g (FairPrice panel; not converted)	204kcal	11.1g	4.3g	0.8g	33.1g	not stated	448mg (salt 1.12g)
CJ Bibigo Mandu Dumpling — Pork & Vegetable	Per 100g, as sold (FairPrice panel)	229kcal	6.3g	12.8g	4.5g	21.9g	1.5g	379mg (salt 0.95g)

As observed numbers only: per serving, CJ Bibigo Pork & Vegetables prints 550mg sodium per 140g serving (salt 1.38g) against FairPrice Vegetable at 448mg sodium per 135g serving (salt 1.12g); Bibigo prints 3g sugars per serving, while FairPrice Vegetable's panel has no sugars line, so its sugars figure is not stated rather than assumed. No health verdict, ranking or pick is drawn from these numbers.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): Karrion Frozen Gyoza — Chicken and Ajinomoto Gyoza Pops — Chicken & Vegetables (no nutrition sections on their FairPrice pages); CJ Bibigo Potstickers — Chicken & Vegetable and Vegetable (flagged US lists — no SG nutrition panel retrieved); Ajinomoto Prawn Gyoza (specification sheet only — no nutrition panel retrieved). An Ajinomoto producer specification sheet for a 600g Chicken Gyoza bag exists, but it is a different product from Gyoza Pops and was not used; a Bibigo UK Chicken & Vegetable panel exists, but it is a different flavour and market from the SG Pork & Vegetables panel and was not used. These products stay panelled for ingredients above; their nutrition is not estimated or borrowed across variants.

How to read a dumpling list — the jargon, in plain English

Gyoza / jiaozi / mandu: Japanese, Chinese and Korean names for filled wheat dumplings. The names tell you the tradition, not the filling — always read the filling list.
Bean thread / glass noodle: Thin noodles made from sweet potato (or mung bean) starch, used to bulk out a filling. They are not wheat noodles.
Textured soy flour / isolated soy protein: Soy processed to mimic meat texture or add protein. It carries a soy allergen flag even in a "vegetable" dumpling.
E621 (monosodium glutamate, MSG), E631, E635, E640: Flavour enhancers. E621 is MSG itself; the others are related flavour enhancers often used alongside it.
Trehalose / D-xylose: Sugars used in small amounts for texture and browning in the wrapper/filling, not as the main sweetener.
Kombu seaweed: Dried kelp, used as a savoury (umami) seasoning in the CP filling.
Autolyzed / autolysed yeast, yeast extract: Yeast broken down to add savoury flavour — a common MSG-adjacent seasoning, not a leavening agent in the filling.

What this page is not

Not a health score, not a ranking, and not a taste test.
Not a price comparison. Prices are deliberately omitted.
Not complete for every chain or every filling — shrimp in particular is thinly verified (one specification sheet only), and several well-known Singapore dumpling brands are in seen-not-verified for lack of a retrieved list.
Not a guide to dumpling skins sold separately, dipping sauces sold separately, or restaurant / hawker dumplings — only frozen retail packs.

Sources and method

Checked 5–6 November 2026 from: NTUC FairPrice product pages (ingredient sections) for Karrion, CJ Bibigo Pork, CP Chicken, Ajinomoto Gyoza Pops and FairPrice Vegetable; Open Food Facts / EWG label transcriptions for the flagged US Bibigo lists; Ajinomoto producer specification sheet for the flagged prawn list; Little Farms frozen-ready-meals listings for the Dumpling Darlings inventory. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Where a full list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified, not panelled.

Nutrition note (added 5–6 November 2026): the "Nutrition — what the numbers say" section above standardises figures to per 100g or per 100ml wherever the pack or retailer gives per-100 figures; figures available only per serving are quoted exactly as per serving (with serving size as printed) and are not converted to per-100. Sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars — the ingredient list is the evidence for added sugar. Salt = sodium × 2.5; sodium is shown as printed with the salt equivalent in brackets, and is never presented as salt. Where Singapore's official Nutri-Grade is printed on a drink pack or listing it is quoted as printed; no grade has been assigned by this site, and no health score, ranking or "best" pick is given. Products whose nutrition could not be verified are listed under "seen but not verified (nutrition)" on each page, not estimated.
