Can you eat prawn chips if are allergic to shrimp?

Prawn chips, a popular snack, are made from starch, often derived from potatoes or tapioca, and flavored with shrimp or prawn (a type of shrimp) extract. They do not contain any actual prawn meat. Although the flavoring is derived from prawns, the chip itself is considered a vegan food.

However, It's important to check the ingredient list of specific brands of prawn chips, as some may contain small amounts of real prawn or shrimp. If you're allergic to shrimp, read ingredient labels carefully and avoid any that mention shrimp, prawn, crustaceans, or shellfish in their ingredients.
