Taco Bell says its kitchens handle egg, milk, soy, wheat and other allergens on shared equipment and in shared areas, so it cannot rule out cross-contact. Its allergen information reflects standard recipes as of the last update. Peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish are not used in regular menu items, but those items may be made in facilities that also handle them, and test or limited-time items may contain them. Soybean oil is not flagged as a soy allergen. Taco Bell makes no gluten-free claims: some items are made without gluten ingredients but are prepared in shared kitchen areas and shared fryer oil, and it does not recommend its food for people with celiac disease. Its AVA-certified vegetarian items are lacto-ovo vegetarian, but they may share frying oil and handling with meat.
