Burger King Allergen Menu and Ingredients

Burger King allergen menu

The Burger King allergen menu runs to sixty-seven items across six sections, and wheat sits on forty-two of them. Soy appears on thirty-eight items, milk on thirty-six, sesame and egg on twenty-seven each. Fish appears as a declaration only on Big Fish, and as a shared-equipment warning on seven other items.

Declarations follow the list Burger King prints beside an item, and where it prints none, a published listing for that exact item fills the row. Water, juices, Coke Freezee King, two dipping sauces and a few frozen drinks stay off. No listing marks them, and a missing line is not the same as none. The meals stay off too, because each bundles several items with lists of their own.

The short answer

Wheat, soy, milk, sesame and egg run across the Burger King allergen menu, and no item lists peanuts or tree nuts. Wheat sits on forty-two of sixty-seven items and sesame on twenty-seven. Thirty-one items declare no milk, and twenty-five declare no wheat.

Burger King Allergen Menu Item by Item

The Burger King allergen menu reads best by allergen rather than by craving. Find the one that matters, then read down the Contains column, where each row names what that item contains. Tables run in counter order, so a Whopper sits with the flame-grilled burgers the chain built its name on.

Each Contains cell lists declarations in the order Burger King prints them. A may-contain line, where Burger King prints one, follows in the same cell and names shared equipment rather than ingredients. Calories and prices sit on the priced menu, so this page carries neither.

Burger King Whopper and Burger Allergens

Whopper, Double Whopper, Triple Whopper, Whopper Jr., BBQ Bacon Whopper Jr., Rodeo Burger and Impossible Whopper all declare egg, sesame, soy and wheat. The Texas builds, the Bacon King and both Crispy Onion Whoppers add milk to that set. The four cheeseburgers declare milk, sesame, soy and wheat, with no egg. Every burger here declares sesame, soy and wheat.

Burger King off-menu builds start from one of these rows and carry its declarations plus whatever the extras add.

Dairy-Free Options at Burger King

The Burger King allergen menu names milk on thirty-six of its sixty-seven rows, leaving thirty-one without it. Whopper, Impossible Whopper, Double Whopper, Triple Whopper and Whopper Jr. lead that group, with Hamburger King Jr. Meal beside them. Fountain drinks, teas, coffees, French Fries and two sauces help make up the twenty-six rows that carry no milk on either line.

Five more rows declare no milk but list it as may contain through shared equipment: Chicken Nuggets, Onion Rings, Have-sies, Chicken Fries and Big Fish. Every row in the group except French Fries declares at least one other allergen. The Also declares column repeats each full list.

Ordering Gluten-Free at Burger King

Burger King’s lists name wheat but never name gluten, so no item on the Burger King allergen menu can be called gluten-free. Wheat sits on forty-two of sixty-seven rows, which covers every burger, chicken sandwich, wrap, King Jr. Meal, nugget, onion ring and Chicken Fries row. Twenty-five rows declare no wheat.

HERSHEY’S Sundae, Soft Serve Cup, Mott’s Applesauce, four sauces and every drink, tea and coffee carry no wheat on either line. French Fries, Chocolate Shake and Vanilla Shake declare no wheat but list it as may contain through shared equipment, which matters to anyone avoiding it.

Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Burger King

The Burger King allergen menu stops at what each item declares, and Burger King adds its own shared-equipment line to eleven rows. Those lines name fish, milk, soy and wheat, and nuggets, onion rings, French Fries, Have-sies, Chicken Fries and three chicken sandwiches carry one. A row without that line is no promise of a clean kitchen. Flame-broiled patties share a conveyor with everything crossing it, and no item is certified gluten-free.

Naming a serious allergy at the counter before the order goes in covers what a printed table cannot. It gives the crew a chance to change gloves, wipe a surface or move an item off shared equipment. A restaurant manager can also walk through how a specific build is assembled.

Burger King Allergen Menu FAQs

Egg, milk, sesame, soy, wheat and sulphur dioxide appear as declarations, and fish is declared only on Big Fish, otherwise appearing as a may-contain warning. No list names gluten, peanuts, tree nuts or shellfish.

No, not on its own. A Whopper declares egg, sesame, soy and wheat, and the Texas Whopper, Impossible Texas Whopper, Texas Double Whopper, Bacon King, Texas Whopper Jr. and both Crispy Onion Whoppers add milk.

Twenty-seven rows: all nineteen burgers, six chicken sandwiches and both King Jr. Meals. Chicken Nuggets, Chicken Fries, the wraps, the sides, the desserts and the sauces declare no sesame.

No allergen listing marks them, and an empty line is not a declaration of none. Coke Freezee King, juices, water, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, BBQ Sauce, Sweet & Sour Sauce and a few frozen drinks all fall in that group.

Yes, Big Fish lists fish under Contains. Seven other rows list it as may contain through shared equipment: the three chicken sandwiches, Chicken Nuggets, Onion Rings, Have-sies and Chicken Fries.

No, the Chicken Nuggets row declares wheat alone. Fish, milk and soy sit on its may-contain line, so shared equipment keeps milk within reach.

No. Across the sixty-seven rows published here the lists name only egg, milk, sesame, soy, wheat and sulphur dioxide, with fish declared on Big Fish and otherwise a may-contain warning. Shared prep surfaces sit outside every declaration, so check at the counter before ordering.
