Is kidney bean vegan?
Yes. Kidney bean is vegan and vegetarian: Open Food Facts records nothing from an animal in it.

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.
