| Cross-contact statement | Menu items may contain or come into contact with wheat, eggs, shellfish, tree nuts, milk, and other major allergens, and routine preparation techniques such as common oil frying and use of common preparation equipment and surfaces may allow contact among food items; the chain states it cannot ensure any food item is completely free of allergens. Fried items are prepared in 100% soybean oil, and highly refined soybean oil is not identified as soy in the guide unless other soy protein is present; shared fryers and grills are also used.

- Is there a separate prep area, boards and utensils for allergy orders?
- How are staff trained on food allergies, and how often is that training refreshed?
- Which parts of the kitchen, if any, are kept free of my allergen?
- Does this location follow the chain's published allergen procedure, and who here is trained on it?
ConfidentDiner collects allergen and preparation information from restaurants’ published materials, from restaurants themselves, and from diners. Information is dated and sourced, but menus, ingredients, suppliers, staff, and kitchen practices change without notice, and cross-contact can occur in any non-dedicated kitchen. Nothing on this site is medical advice or a guarantee that any restaurant or dish is safe for any individual. Always tell the restaurant about your allergy, confirm current practices directly before ordering, and make your own decision with your medical professional’s guidance.
