Do lemon cells contain an allergen?
Lemon cells are 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.
Are lemon cells vegan?
Yes. Lemon cells are vegan and vegetarian: Open Food Facts records nothing from an animal in them.
