Does chestnut spread contain an allergen?

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

What other names does chestnut spread have on a label?

On European labels it is “crème de marrons” in French, “crema di castagne” in Italian and “créme de castanha” in Portuguese. One more language is listed below.

French: crème de marrons
Italian: crema di castagne
Portuguese: créme de castanha, créme de castanhas
Croatian: kesten namaz

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.
