Papa John’s Menu Allergen Guide
This guide provides you with a list of the declared allergens in foods offered at Papa John’s, including the crust, toppings, chicken wings, side dishes, and other menu items.
What are Food Allergens?
Federal regulations have identified nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.
Highly refined oil, even if derived from one of the major food allergen groups such as soybeans, is exempt. Therefore, highly refined soybean oil is not considered a common allergen.
Suppliers and restaurants may prepare many different foods in the same facility. Moreover, 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 be exposed to cross-contamination by coming into contact with other items that contain allergens.
This guide is for informational purposes only. Restaurants may change recipes or suppliers without notice. Anyone with food allergies or dietary concerns should check Papa John’s website and/or request the most up-to-date information about potential allergens from a representative at the local restaurant. We assume no responsibilities for individuals with food allergens. Consult your physician for health and dietary concerns.
