“Free from” here means the allergen isn't a listed ingredient — it does not rule out cross-contact from shared fryers, grills or prep surfaces. For a severe allergy, always confirm with the restaurant before ordering.
How to read allergen info
Before you trust any label — including this one — here's what the words actually mean and where their limits are.
"Contains" vs "May contain"
"Contains" means an allergen is a listed ingredient. "May contain" means cross-contact is possible — it shares equipment, oil or a prep surface with that allergen, or the recipe varies by location. For a severe allergy, treat "may contain" as seriously as "contains" until staff confirm otherwise.
Shared fryers and grills matter
Fries, chicken and fish are often cooked in the same oil, and burgers share a grill with buns and sauces. An item with a clean ingredient list can still pick up wheat, milk, fish or soy from shared equipment — which is why "free from" a listed ingredient is not the same as "safe."
Always verify with the restaurant
Fast-food recipes, suppliers and prep steps change between locations and over time. This directory is a research starting point, not official brand data — the counter staff, the brand's current allergen menu, or a manager are the authority on what's in your order today.
The Big-9 basics
U.S. labeling law recognizes nine major allergens: milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish and sesame. Together they account for the large majority of serious food-allergy reactions, so we check every item against all nine — the same nine you'll see on the grid inside each page.

Reading allergen menus is a lot easier once you know exactly what you're allergic to. Curex offers at-home allergy testing and immunotherapy so you can identify your triggers and manage them with a clinician — the confident first step before you order anywhere.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
When you tap an allergen, we hide every item that lists it as an ingredient and show only the items that don't. Select more than one and an item has to be clear of all of them to stay. It filters on listed ingredients only — it can't account for cross-contact from shared fryers, grills or prep surfaces, so a filtered result is a starting point to check, not a guarantee it's safe.
No. These 934 pages across 30 brands are research summaries of commonly reported ingredients — not the brands' official allergen menus and not endorsed by them. Fast-food recipes, suppliers and prep change between locations and over time, so always confirm your specific order with the restaurant's current allergen information or staff.
"May contain" flags possible cross-contact — the item shares equipment, oil or a prep surface with an allergen, or the recipe varies by location — rather than the allergen being a listed ingredient. If you have a severe allergy, treat "may contain" the same as "contains" until the restaurant confirms otherwise.
Every item is checked against the Big-9: milk, egg, wheat (gluten), soy, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish and sesame — the nine major allergens U.S. labeling law recognizes. Each individual page shows the full grid, marking each one as Contains, May contain, or Free.
That's a decision for you and your allergist, not this directory. Many items can be modified — skipping cheese, sauce or a bun, or asking for a fresh-oil fry — and the individual pages suggest safer swaps where they exist. But cross-contact risk remains, so anyone with a severe allergy should confirm prep with staff and carry prescribed epinephrine.
We review these 934 pages for the current year and refresh them as brands change recipes and suppliers. Because ingredients and prep vary by location and can change without notice, treat every result as a research prompt and read the restaurant's current allergen information before you order.
