Do extruded cereals contain an allergen?
It depends on how they were made. Open Food Facts does not link extruded cereals to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one. The label must name any allergen they carry.
Are extruded cereals vegan?
Yes. Extruded cereals are vegan and vegetarian: Open Food Facts records nothing from an animal in them.
A pack can differ from the usual recipe: the app reads the label in your hand.

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.
