KFC allergen menu

KFC reports 10 allergens for its US menu: milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame and gluten. 42 of its 110 items list none of them.

For 5 items (Dirty Dr Pepper, Dirty Lemonade, Dirty Pepsi, Dirty Tart Cherry Lemonade and KFC Creamy Parmesan Caesar Dressing), KFC’s guide does not mark an allergen that the item’s own ingredients or closely related items suggest. Those allergens are marked “Unclear” and the items are left out of the filter results for them.

KFC says its kitchens handle egg, milk, soy, wheat and other allergens, items can be prepared on shared equipment, and it cannot rule out cross-contact. In some restaurants fish, chicken and potatoes may share fryer oil. Several items contain or are cooked in highly refined soybean oil, which the FDA does not treat as an allergen. KFC does not use peanuts or tree nuts, but says the Café Valley chocolate chip and lemon cakes may contain traces of tree nuts. Vegetarian ingredients are handled alongside meat. Allergen data reflects standard recipes and may vary with suppliers, substitutions and recipe changes. MSG is reported alongside the allergens.
