Does natural cocoa flavouring contain an allergen?
It depends on how it was made. Open Food Facts does not link natural cocoa flavouring to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one. The label must name any allergen it carries.
Is natural cocoa flavouring vegan?
It depends on the make. Some kinds of natural cocoa flavouring are made with an animal product and a label rarely says which, so a vegan profile gets Heads up. Whether it is vegetarian depends on the make too.
A pack can differ from the usual recipe: the app reads the label in your hand.
