Red Lobster Allergen Menu and Ingredients

The Red Lobster allergen menu tracks ten declared allergens across 176 dishes in 22 menu sections, from the seafood boils to the dressings. Dairy, soy and sulfites turn up on more rows than any other allergen, on 144, 111 and 106 of the 176 dishes. Reading the section tables below is the fastest way to check one specific boil, platter or side.

Every row below comes from Red Lobster’s own published allergen guide. None carry a size or a price. Each row reflects the source exactly, and none of them substitute for reading a label on a to-go container. A blank entry in the guide reads as None declared below, and the guide warns that no item can be guaranteed free of any allergen.

At a glance

Red Lobster Allergen Menu Item by Item

Every row on the Red Lobster allergen menu keeps the exact wording the chain’s own guide uses for that dish. Ten of the guide’s twelve allergen columns declare at least one dish, led by dairy, soy and sulfites, while peanut and tree nut declare none. Red Lobster keeps its prices on a separate page rather than mixing them into this grid.

Ordering Gluten-Free at Red Lobster

Wheat and gluten are both absent from the declared list on 84 of the 176 items on the Red Lobster allergen menu. Dressings & Condiments leads with 15 such items, and Seafood Boils follows close behind with 14. Crab Your Way clears nine, and Classic Sides and Add to Any Entrée each clear seven. Kid’s Seaside Menu and the remaining sections divide what is left, from six items down to one.

Gluten and wheat match row for row in the guide, and neither column is a gluten-free label. The gluten column marks gluten identified within ingredients, and the cooking-method marker covers cross-contamination separately.

Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Red Lobster

The Red Lobster allergen menu covers every section the same way, row by row rather than by kitchen station. The guide flags most of these dishes for a special risk of cross-contamination from the cooking method. That marker sits apart from the declared allergens. The dressings and desserts carry no flag, though they still come from shared kitchens.

Fried items cook in an oil blend containing soybean oil, and the guide does not list them as soy unless another soy protein is present. No dish declares peanut or tree nut, though the guide cannot rule out cross-contact. Telling a server about a serious allergy before ordering covers what this allergen menu cannot.
