Burger King Allergen Menu and Ingredients

Wheat and gluten run through almost every row on this page. Milk, egg, soy and sesame each cover a large part of the board, and fish sits on one item alone. The Burger King allergen menu below names what each item contains, item by item.

Shared fryers, a shared broiler and shared prep surfaces sit outside every declaration on the Burger King allergen menu. Cross-contact therefore stays possible on every order. Every row below reads the item as listed, before any swap at the counter.

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.

The Burger King allergen menu traces most milk on a burger row to American cheese, and most egg to mayonnaise. The sesame seed bun puts both wheat and sesame on nearly every sandwich. Breading carries wheat right through the chicken line. Shakes take their milk from the soft serve base rather than from anything poured on top.

Burger King Whopper and Burger Allergens

The Whopper declares egg, wheat, gluten, soy, sesame and sulfites, with mayonnaise and the sesame seed bun behind most of them. Impossible Whopper and Whopper Jr. read the same, while BBQ Bacon Whopper Jr. and Rodeo Burger drop the sulfites. American cheese puts milk on the Texas Double Whopper, the Bacon King and all four Cheeseburger rows. Mustard joins those Cheeseburger rows, the Texas Double Whopper and the Hamburger, and every item here declares wheat, gluten, soy and sesame. That same mustard, asked for in place of mayonnaise, makes a build the counter keys by hand.

Burger King Chicken, Wrap and Fish Allergens

Breading puts wheat and gluten on every row in this section. Royal Crispy Chicken, the Fiery and Bacon & Swiss builds and the Original Chicken Sandwich each add milk, egg, soy and sesame. Sulfites join the Original Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Jr. and Chicken Nuggets, and Chicken Jr. also declares egg, soy and sesame. Chicken Nuggets stop at wheat, gluten and sulfites, while wraps swap the sesame bun for a flour tortilla and declare milk, egg and soy. Alaskan pollock puts fish on the Big Fish, which also declares egg, soy and sesame.

Burger King Shake, Sundae and Dessert Allergens

Milk sits on every row in this section, poured from the same soft serve base. Chocolate Shake, Vanilla Shake and the Soft Serve Cup declare milk and nothing else, while the Soft Serve Cone adds wheat and gluten. Cookie pieces add wheat, gluten and soy to both Oreo shakes and to HERSHEY’S Sundae Pie. Cini Minis and the two chocolate chip cookies bake egg into the dough alongside wheat, gluten and soy.

Burger King Sides and Drink Allergens

Cheesy Tots declare milk, wheat and gluten from the cheese blend and the coating. Chicken Fries carry wheat and gluten from the same coating, with sulfites riding along in the seasoning. Two drinks carry a declaration here, and both name milk. BK Café Iced Coffee and Fat Free Milk make up that pair.

Burger King Limited Time Menu Allergens

The two Crispy Onion Whoppers, both listed only for a limited run, declare milk, egg, wheat, gluten, soy and sesame. Fried onions add the wheat and gluten, the sesame seed bun underneath carries the sesame, and American cheese brings the milk. Jalapeño Cheddar Bites wrap a cheese and pepper centre in a breaded shell. That build lands milk, wheat, gluten and soy on the row, with no sesame declared.

Dairy-Free Options at Burger King

Burger King allergen menu listings clear ten items of milk in their standard builds. Burger King’s dairy-free lineup covers most of the core burger menu, led by the Whopper and Impossible Whopper. Whopper Jr., BBQ Bacon Whopper Jr. and the Rodeo Burger extend that list further. Chicken Jr. and Big Fish both skip dairy in their standard builds.

Chicken Nuggets stay dairy-free on their own, though dipping sauces vary. 12 Pc Chicken Fries complete the dairy-free sides. Cheese, mayo blends and certain sauces remain the items to watch, since they are what typically adds dairy back into an otherwise clear order.

Ordering Gluten-Free at Burger King

Burger King’s gluten-free options fall almost entirely into the dessert and drink lineup rather than the food menu. Chocolate Shake, Vanilla Shake and the Soft Serve Cup count as the gluten-free frozen treats. None of the standard burgers or fries qualify.

BK Café Iced Coffee offers a gluten-free coffee option beyond the shakes. Fat Free Milk rounds out the list as a simple drink choice. Bun and batter remain the two things that keep most of the burger and fries menu off limits for gluten-free diners.

Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Burger King

The Burger King allergen menu stops at what each item declares, and one fryer bank still handles the chicken, the onion rings and the sides. That oil is not divided by allergen. Flame-broiled patties share a conveyor with everything crossing it. Nothing built to order is free of an allergen, 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.
