Do dark chocolate chunks contain an allergen?
It depends on how they were made. Open Food Facts does not link dark chocolate chunks to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one. The label must name any allergen they carry.
Are dark chocolate chunks vegan?
It depends on the make. Some kinds of dark chocolate chunks are made with an animal product and a label rarely says which, so a vegan profile gets Heads up. They are vegetarian.
A pack can differ from the usual recipe: the app reads the label in your hand.
