Pizza dough on a food label: allergens, diets and other names

Does pizza dough contain an allergen?

It depends on how it was made. Open Food Facts does not link pizza dough to an allergen, and Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as one. The label must name any allergen it carries.

Is pizza dough vegan?

It depends on the make. Some kinds of pizza dough are made with an animal product and a label rarely says which, so a vegan profile gets Heads up. It is vegetarian.

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.
