Individuals have different needs and kitchen areas have limited space. Food is prepared on shared equipment and menu items may come in contact with allergens during the preparation, cooking, and serving process.

Moreover, recipes and ingredients may vary by location. Individuals with food sensitivities should discuss dietary concerns with the manager at the local restaurant.

Cross contact with other foods may occur during the preparation of any menu item.

Quick Overview of FDA Guidelines

The United States FDA regulates nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.

Highly refined oil, even if derived from a particular allergen group, is exempted from federal regulation. For example, refined soybean oil is not considered a common allergen.

In addition, certain foods may be prepared or cooked using shared equipment. Fried foods are typically cooked in a shared fryer with common oil.

As such, some foods made without a declared food allergen may contain or come into contact with allergens through cross contamination.
