Panda Express says its kitchens use ingredients containing all the major FDA allergens and other allergenic ingredients. Because food is cooked fresh with shared equipment, prep areas, utensils and storage, any menu item may contain any allergen, and delivery orders carry extra cross-contact risk in handling and transport, so the chain cannot guarantee any item is allergen-free. The sesame column covers sesame oil. No MSG is added apart from what occurs naturally in some ingredients.
