Does the single word guar count?
Yes. In an ingredient list it is guar gum. The longer phrase guar gum wins the highlight when both words are printed.
Gums & emulsifiers

A legume gum printed as guar gum or E412.
Matches personal ingredient preferences based on label evidence; not medical, allergy, or dietary safety advice
What the label is naming
Guar gum comes from guar beans and is used to thicken and stabilize. Labels say guar gum or, in a gum blend, guar. E412 is the code. The word guar is specific enough on food labels that the catalog accepts it.
Where it hides
Ice cream, yogurt, plant milks, coconut milk, and sauces, often beside xanthan or locust bean gum. Coconut milk can be a short list or a gum-stabilized one; the words decide.

Questions
Is this a legume-allergy check?
No. AisleSwap does not clear or detect allergies. A household avoiding gums is matching a preference.
