It depends on how they were made. Open Food Facts does not link frog legs to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one. The label must name any allergen they carry.

Are frog legs vegan?

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.
