So, what is contient farine?
The phrase "contient farine" is French for "contains flour" and is an informational label statement rather than a single standalone ingredient, used on packaging to indicate the presence of grain flour. On food labels, this phrase most commonly signals the inclusion of standard wheat flour or another cereal grain flour utilized for structure or thickening.
Flour is manufactured by cleaning and mechanically grinding raw cereal grains, such as wheat, rye, barley, or rice, into a fine powder. It is an essential component in thousands of commercial food products, including breads, baked goods, pastas, noodles, sauces, and breadings.
This item is classified as vegan because flour is sourced entirely from plants. The milling and refining processes rely on physical grinding and sifting without the use of animal products or animal-derived processing aids. While finished foods that contain flour may sometimes include eggs, dairy, or other animal ingredients, the flour itself is wholly plant-derived.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
