Do lamb shoulders contain an allergen?
It depends on how they were made. Open Food Facts does not link lamb shoulders to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one. The label must name any allergen they carry.
Are lamb shoulders vegan?
No. Lamb shoulders are not vegan: they come from an animal. They are not vegetarian either.
A pack can differ from the usual recipe: the app reads the label in your hand.
What other names do lamb shoulders have on a label?
On European labels they are “Epaule d'agneau” in French, “spalle di agnello” in Italian and “janjeće plećke” in Croatian.

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.
