Does bull contain an allergen?

It depends on how it was made. Open Food Facts does not link bull to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one. The label must name any allergen it carries.

Is bull vegan?

No. Bull is not vegan: it comes from an animal. It is not vegetarian either.

VeganNot for youNot vegan: it comes from an animal.
VegetarianNot for youIt comes from meat or another slaughter product.

An allergen is stated only when two of three checks agree: the Open Food Facts record, Bravoora’s label checker, and the ingredient’s own name or family (oat flour is oats, a cheese is milk). Every name where they disagree waits for a person to review it.
