Does teff flour contain an allergen?
It depends on how it was made. Open Food Facts files it under gluten; Bravoora checked that by hand and does not follow it, because it is not one of the cereals containing gluten that the allergen lists name. Bravoora’s label checker does not read the name as an allergen either. The label must name any allergen it carries.
Is teff flour vegan?
Yes. Teff flour is vegan and vegetarian: Open Food Facts records nothing from an animal in it.
A pack can differ from the usual recipe: the app reads the label in your hand.

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.
