Dough on a food label: allergens, diets and other names

Dough is made to a recipe, so its allergens depend on the recipe. Whether it is vegan depends on how it was made. Open Food Facts finds it in 23,862 products, most often in ready meals.

Does dough contain an allergen?

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

Is dough vegan?

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

Sources

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.
