Does monk fruit extract contain an allergen?
It depends on how it was made. Open Food Facts does not link monk fruit extract to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one. The label must name any allergen it carries.
Is monk fruit extract vegan?
It depends on the make. Some kinds of monk fruit extract 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.
