This guide is for reference and informational purposes and based on standardized recipes. Fast food restaurants may change recipes or suppliers without notice. Individuals with food allergies should check the Chopt website for the most up-to-date list of allergens and discuss any dietary concerns with the restaurant manager prior to ordering. Neither Nutrition & Ingredients nor its staff assume any responsibility for individuals with a food allergy. Consult your physician for health and dietary advice.
Although staff may follow food safety procedures, fast food restaurants cannot guarantee food options are 100% safe from risk of allergen.
Kitchen areas have limited space and food is generally prepared on and with shared equipment and tools. Food items made without allergens may come in contact with common allergens during preparation, cooking, storing, or serving.
Moreover, recipes and ingredients may change without notice and can vary by location. Individuals with food sensitivities should discuss any concerns with the manager at the local restaurant before ordering.

Chopt restaurants are not gluten-free environments. While ingredients used for the list of food products below may not include sources of gluten, there is no guarantee of food safety or the complete absence of allergens.
Gluten-Friendly Menu Options
Here is a list of select foods made without common allergens: gluten, eggs, dairy, sesame, fish, nuts, or soy.
Because of cross-contamination, even drinks and foods listed below may not be 100% gluten-free. Trace amounts of any major allergen may be present.

Overview of FDA Guidelines
The United States FDA has identified nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.
Certain foods, such as highly refined oil, even if derived from a particular allergen group, are exempted from federal regulation. For example, refined soybean oil is not considered a common allergen.
It’s also important to know that fast food products are often prepared in common areas and cooked using shared equipment and kitchen tools. Fried foods, for example, are typically cooked in a fryer that contains oil used for various products, including those that contain milk, wheat, or fish.
As such, even foods made without a declared food allergen may come in contact with allergens through cross contamination.
Ingredients and allergens are based on information as of the date this allergen guide was published and/or updated. Chopt may change its recipes or suppliers without notice. Always check directly with the restaurant for the most up-to-date information. Provided for informational purposes only. Always consult your physician for healthcare or dietary advice.
