Does turmeric powder contain an allergen?

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

Is turmeric powder vegan?

Yes. Turmeric powder is vegan and vegetarian: Open Food Facts records nothing from an animal in it.

Sources

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.
