Quick Overview of Food Allergens

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.

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.
