Important Allergen Information

If a person in your party has a food allergy, please contact the restaurant or notify a manager before placing your order. The health and safety of our guests are always top priorities.

As part of this ongoing commitment, we provide the most current allergen menu information available from our food suppliers on the nine most common allergens including egg, fish, milk, peanut, shellfish, sesame, soy, tree nuts, and wheat/gluten. Every effort is made to keep this information current. However, it is possible that ingredient changes and substitutions may occur due to the differences in regional suppliers, recipe revisions, preparation techniques, and/or the season of the year.

Cross-Contamination Notice

Certain menu items may vary from restaurant to restaurant and may not be available at all locations. Limited time offers, test products, or regional items have not been included on these menus. Menu items may contain or come into contact with wheat, eggs, shellfish, tree-nuts, milk and other major allergens. Because routine food preparation techniques, such as common oil frying and use of common food preparation equipment and surfaces, may allow contact among various food items, we cannot guarantee any food items to be completely allergen-free.

Vegetarian & Vegan Information

Vegetarian (VT) items contain no beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or ingredients derived from animals (e.g., gelatin, chicken broth, animal rennet), but items may contain eggs or milk. Cheeses processed with microbial enzymes (not rennet) are marked as vegetarian.

Vegan (VG) items contain no animal-derived products. Because we use shared fryers and grills in our restaurants, fried or grilled foods are exposed to animal product during the cooking process (e.g., French Fries cooked in same oil as Chicken Crispers).

Soy Allergies: Many of our foods contain soybean oil and our fried items are prepared in 100% soybean oil. Under FDA regulations highly refined soybean oil is not considered allergenic and is exempt from labeling. Therefore, menu items that contain highly refined soybean oil will not be identified as containing soy on our allergen guide unless other forms of soy protein are present (e.g., hydrolyzed soy, soy flour, miso, edamame). Please check with your doctor to find out whether you should avoid highly refined soybean oil.

FAQs
