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.
