Does invert sugar syrup contain an allergen?
Invert sugar syrup is not one of the allergens that food labels must declare in the US, the UK, Europe or the Gulf. Open Food Facts does not link it to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one.
Is invert sugar syrup vegan?
It depends on the make. Some kinds of invert sugar syrup are made with an animal product and a label rarely says which, so a vegan profile gets Heads up. It is vegetarian.
A pack can differ from the usual recipe: the app reads the label in your hand.
