Does filling contain an allergen?

It depends on the kind. Some kinds of filling carry an allergen: hazelnut filling and pistachio filling contain tree nuts; milk filling contains milk. A label must name the allergen, so check which kind it says.

Is filling vegan?

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

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.
