Does carob seed flour contain an allergen?
It depends on how it was made. Open Food Facts does not link carob seed flour to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one. The label must name any allergen it carries.
Is carob seed flour vegan?
Yes. Carob seed flour is vegan and vegetarian: Open Food Facts records nothing from an animal in it.
A pack can differ from the usual recipe: the app reads the label in your hand.
