Can you translate that sentence please? I tried putting in the translation engine but it came out as something incomprehensible. Does it mean what ingredients are in the food?

I don't know how to say "condimentos" in English but let me explain you.
Meat rice and potatoes are ingredients but salt and pepper are condimentos.
All those little things you add to the food to change the color, fragance and flavor are condimentos.
Sometimes it depends of how much you add, as an example:
If I cook meat and I add a little bit of onion to give some different flavor then the onion is a condimento.
But if I make an onion soup then the onion is an ingredient.

"A condiment is an edible substance, (such as a simple sauce) that is added to some foods to impart a particular flavor, enhance its flavor, or in some cultures, to complement the dish. The term originally described pickled or preserved foods, but has shifted meaning over time. Many condiments are available packaged in single-serving sachets (packets), like mustard or ketchup, particularly when supplied with take-out or fast-food meals. Condiments are usually applied by the diner. Condiments are sometimes added prior to serving, for example a sandwich made with ketchup or mustard. Some condiments are used during cooking to add flavor or texture to the food; barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, marmite are examples."

Bah! Ingredients are all the goodies that go into making a recipe. the condiments are the seasonings added after the dish is cooked and presented. That may differ depending on where in the round world we are from.

"la caja que condimentos contenía" ==> ROBOT ==> "the box that was containing spices"

...que condimentos contenía...

Try adding, say, "La caja" before it and see what the robot wreaks.
