Its chart covers the nine major allergens; per-item flags in "May contain" combine two marks the chain uses: produced or stored in a facility that handles the allergen, and may contain or made on the same production lines. The information is based on its standard U.S. recipes, and recipes, ingredients and suppliers can change.
