Does sugar beet syrup contain an allergen?

Is sugar beet syrup vegan?

It depends on the make. Some kinds of sugar beet syrup 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.
