Negative prefix (gheyr-e)

The Negative Prefix غیر

To give an adjective or noun a negative meaning (like "non-", "un-", or "in-"), place غیر before it. You must connect غیر to the word it modifies using the Ezafe (which is pronounced but typically unwritten).

Reading Food Labels

This structure is extremely common on food labels and when discussing dietary restrictions to specify exactly what a product does not contain or represent.
