Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Allergen Menu
This guide provides you with a list of allergens in foods offered at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen fast food restaurants.
What are Food Allergens?
Federal regulations have identified nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.
It’s important to note that certain foods may be prepared or cooked using shared equipment.
Fried foods, for example, may be cooked in common oil in a shared fryer. Accordingly, even foods made without a declared allergen may come into contact with or contain allergens through cross-contamination.
Note that highly refined oil, even if derived from one of the major food allergen groups such as refined soybean oil, is exempted from federal regulation guidelines.
Popeyes Allergen Menu
The following sections list the food items and tasty meals on Popeyes’ menu made with one or more of the major food allergens.
The list indicates which allergen(s) (e.g., eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, etc.) are present in the food and includes notes to indicate potential cross-contamination risk for products prepared and/or cooked in a shared fryer or toaster.
Allergen information is based on menu items available at locations in the United States.
