Burger King Menu Allergen Guide
This guide provides lists of allergens in foods and drinks offered at Burger King restaurants. For ease of reference, we break out the menu in the same categories as the fast food giant, including flame-grilled burgers, chicken and fish items, Breakfast, and Desserts.
What are Food Allergens?
Federal regulations have identified nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.
Highly refined oil, even if derived from one of the major food allergen groups (e.g., soybeans) is exempted from federal regulations. As a result, highly refined soy oil is not considered a common allergen and thus typically not declared on menu items.
It’s important to note that certain foods may be prepared or cooked using shared equipment. Fried foods, for example, are cooked in common oil. As such, foods made without a declared food allergen may come into contact with allergens through cross-contamination.
This guide is for informational purposes only. As restaurants may change recipes or suppliers without notice, anyone with food allergies or other dietary concerns should contact Burger King for the most up-to-date information about potential allergens in the food. We do not assume responsibility for any person’s sensitivity or allergy to food. Always consult your physician for health, dietary, or medical advice.
Burger King Allergen Menu
The following section is an abbreviated Burger King menu listing food items made with one or more of the major food allergens. Tables indicate which allergen(s) (e.g., eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, etc.) are declared to be present in the food.
Allergen information is based on menu items available at locations in the United States.

Many fast food restaurants have limited food preparation areas and do not have the space for separate fryers. Certain menu items that are not made with a declared allergen may still come into contact with another food item made with egg, milk, wheat, or another allergen.
For example, chicken nuggets are cooked in a shared fryer that may use the same fry oil as mozzarella sticks. As such, chicken nuggets, which are made with wheat may be cooked alongside mozzarella sticks made with soy and milk.
