Before your next trip to fast casual restaurant Moe’s Southwest Grill, check this reference guide for a list of the Tex Mex menu items made with eggs, milk, soy, wheat, sesame, fish, or nuts.

Read through to the final section of this allergen report for a list of menu items made without any of the common food allergens. That list can be used as a guide for gluten-free options.

Food Items Recognized as Allergens

The United States FDA has identified nine major food allergens:

  • Eggs
  • Fish
  • Milk
  • Peanuts
  • Sesame
  • Shellfish
  • Soybeans
  • Tree nuts
  • Wheat

Note that certain foods, even if derived from a particular allergen group, are exempted from federal regulation.

Studies have shown that refined soybean oil, for example, is safe for consumption by most individuals with soy allergies. As such, it’s not considered a common allergen in terms of disclosure requirements.

Be aware that fast food menu items are prepared in common areas using shared equipment. Fried foods, for example, are generally cooked in the same oil used for other food products that may contain milk, wheat, or fish.

Individuals with food allergies or sensitivities should check Moe’s Southwest Grill website or ask a manager at the restaurant for the most up-to-date list of allergens. Neither Nutrition & Ingredients nor its staff assume any responsibility for individuals with a food allergy. Consult your physician to discuss health or dietary concerns.

Although staff may follow strict food safety procedures, Moe’s fast casual Mexican-inspired restaurant, cannot guarantee food options are 100% free from the risk of allergens.

Kitchen areas have limited space. Menu items may contain or come in contact with common allergens during the product assembly, preparation, and cooking.

Moreover, recipes and ingredients may vary by location or due to seasonal conditions.
