Does spirulina concentrate contain an allergen?

Spirulina 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 spirulina concentrate vegan?

It depends on the make. Some kinds of spirulina 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.

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.
