Health notes
Lavash is primarily a grain product and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used as food. It is a source of carbohydrates and can contribute to dietary fiber intake depending on the type of flour used. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for lavash as a distinct ingredient are not typically listed.
Allergen info
Lavash is made from wheat flour, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten, a protein found in wheat.
