Does corn tortilla contain an allergen?

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

Is corn tortilla vegan?

It depends on the make. Some kinds of corn tortilla are made with an animal product and a label rarely says which, so a vegan profile gets Heads up. It is vegetarian.
