Ingredients with an unresolved source

flavourings

Unspecified flavourings may contain carriers or ingredients of animal origin.

gingerbread

This ingredient name is in the source dictionary, but it is not yet covered by a verified assessment. This is not evidence of animal origin.

niacin

Niacin is normally synthesized, but the manufacturing source is not confirmed by this ingredient list.

riboflavin

Riboflavin can be produced by fermentation or other processes; the manufacturing source is not confirmed here.

molasses

The source or production method of molasses can vary, so it is not always vegan.

mono- and diglycerides

Mono- and diglycerides can be made from plant or animal fats.

E435

The source or production method of E435 can vary, so it is not always vegan.

Nutrition + processing

Nutri-Score is the grade reported in the source, not a score calculated or certified by us. NOVA describes processing. The Veganory indicator is a separate estimate; it does not determine whether a product is vegan.

Source values per 100 g or 100 ml, as supplied by the record. Confirm the basis on the package; these are not per-serving values.

How our indicator is calculated

When available, Nutri-Score A–E maps to 92, 74, 55, 34 or 16 points. With NOVA present, we combine 80% of those points with 20% of the processing indicator (100, 82, 52 or 16 for groups 1–4). Without NOVA we use the nutrition points alone. Without a usable Nutri-Score, we do not rate the product. This is a simplified comparison aid, not a validated health assessment.

Questions about this product

Is this answer valid for every Walgreens Co. product?

No. This page covers Walgreens Co. Gingerbread mini house kit, barcode 0049022807174. Other flavours, package versions or recipes sold in different countries may differ. Match the barcode and ingredient list on your package.

What still needs to be confirmed?

The source of flavourings, gingerbread, niacin, riboflavin, molasses, mono- and diglycerides, E435 needs clarification. Check the current package for a vegan certification or ask the manufacturer about these exact ingredients. A confidence label is not a certification.

Is the nutrition rating the same as the vegan result?

No. Vegan status concerns ingredient origin. Nutri-Score describes a nutrition profile, NOVA describes processing, and the Veganory score is our own combination of available indicators. A vegan result does not mean a food is nutritionally balanced.

What if my label is different?
