Does distilled vinegar contain an allergen?
It depends on how it was made. Open Food Facts does not link distilled vinegar to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one. The label must name any allergen it carries.
Is distilled vinegar vegan?
Yes. Distilled vinegar 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.
