Arby’s Allergen Menu and Ingredients

Arby's allergen menu

The Arby’s allergen menu below names wheat, milk, soy, egg and sesame against each item, plus the guide’s fryer and facility notes. Classic Roast Beef declares soy, wheat and sesame, and milk joins them where a buttered bun is served. Sesame Seed Bun is where that sesame comes from.

Arby’s Allergen declarations below carry no peanut, tree nut or crustacean shellfish entry anywhere. Jamocha Shake, Chocolate Shake and both turnovers come from a facility that also processes peanuts or tree nuts, which the declarations do not cover. Frying oil is shared across the breaded items, and the guide names fish in that oil wherever a restaurant sells it.

The short answer

The Arby’s allergen menu turns on six names: wheat, milk, soy, egg, sesame and fish. Classic Roast Beef declares soy, wheat and sesame, while the breakfast line declares egg, milk, soy and wheat on almost every item. Jamocha Shake and the other two shakes declare milk alone.

Arby’s Allergen Menu Item by Item

Arby’s Allergen sections below follow the board, from the roast beef line through breakfast, the toppings and the regional sandwiches. Each row carries the Contains declaration from Arby’s own guide, followed by any may-contain, shared fryer oil or facility note on that line. Chicken Tenders 2PC declares egg, soy and wheat, while the three-piece and five-piece counts add milk to those three.

The Arby’s allergen menu keeps declarations and cross-contact notes apart, and so does every row here. Crinkle Fries and Potato Cakes declare nothing themselves, yet the guide marks both for oil shared with egg, milk, soy, wheat and fish.

Arby’s Roast Beef Allergens

Roast Beef declares soy, wheat and sesame at every weight, with the sesame coming from the seeded bun. Buttered buns at participating restaurants in Harrisburg, PA and Sioux Falls, SD add milk to all three weights. Classic Beef ‘n Cheddar adds milk to those three, and the Double and Half Pound builds declare exactly the same four names.

Classic French Dip & Swiss drops the sesame with its sub roll and keeps milk, soy and wheat. Arby’s Allergen Menu tiers this line by weight, and the declarations do not change with it. Only the price moves with the weight. Arby’s Sauce declares no allergen at all, while Horsey Sauce declares egg.

Dairy-Free Options at Arby’s

Arby’s allergen menu clears forty items of milk. Twenty-one of them are drinks, from the fountain flavors and lemonades to coffee and Honest Kids juice. Eight sauces join them, among them Arby’s Sauce, Horsey Sauce, Honey Mustard and BBQ. Sesame Seed Bun, bacon, tomato and red onion clear milk too.

Chicken Tenders 2PC declares no milk, and neither do Steak Nuggets, Tree Top Applesauce or the two turnovers. ArbyQ and Super Roast Beef, both regional, are the only sandwiches clear of milk. Classic, Double and Half Pound Roast Beef join them except where a buttered bun is served. Crispy Chicken Sandwich declares no milk itself, but its fryer oil can carry it.

Ordering Gluten-Free at Arby’s

Arby’s allergen menu lists forty-nine items that declare no wheat and carry no wheat in a fryer note. Twenty-six of them are drinks, the kids’ milks included. Twelve sauces qualify, from Buffalo, Ranch and Honey Mustard to Cheddar Cheese Sauce and Horsey Ranch.

Steak Nuggets and the Steak ‘n Potato Bowl qualify among the mains, along with all three shakes and Tree Top Applesauce. That bowl sits on chopped Potato Cakes, though, and the guide marks Potato Cakes for fryer oil that can carry wheat. Cheddar Cheese, Processed Swiss, bacon, tomato and red onion round out the toppings. Every sandwich, wrap and slider on the board declares wheat.

Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Arby’s

Arby’s cooks its fried items in common oil, and the guide marks twenty-three rows with a shared fryer note. They include the fries, Potato Cakes, Mozzarella Sticks, Jalapeño Bites, French Toast Sticks and every breaded chicken item. Fish appears in every one of those notes wherever a restaurant sells it. The meat slicer handles roast beef, turkey and ham along the same blade.

Fourteen rows carry a may-contain note for sesame, covering the breaded chicken sandwiches, the four sliders, both Deep Fried Turkey sandwiches and four burgers. Shakes go through a shared spindle, so a Jamocha follows a Chocolate through the same cup. Sauces are pumped and spread by hand at the assembly line. Anyone ordering around a serious allergy should say so before the order goes in, and ask for a glove change rather than assume one.
