Food may be processed in a facility that prepares foods that contain any and/or all of the major food allergens. Moreover, menu items are prepped, cooked, and served in common kitchens and eating areas. Fast food restaurants cannot guarantee food safety because even foods made without major allergens may come in contact with allergens due to cross contamination.

What are Food Allergens?

Federal regulations have identified nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.

Note that federal regulation exempts highly refined oil, even if derived from one of the major food allergen groups. Therefore, highly refined soybean oil is not considered a common allergen.

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.
