Does safflower concentrate contain an allergen?

Safflower concentrate is 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.

Is safflower concentrate vegan?

It depends on the make. Some kinds of safflower concentrate 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.
