Hardee’s allergen menu comes down to a short list repeating down a long board. Milk, wheat and soy sit on almost every row, egg follows the omelets, the hand-breading and the mayonnaise, and sesame follows the seeded buns. Fish, crustacean shellfish, peanuts and tree nuts appear in no item.
Every row below names what an item contains out of the nine allergens tracked in the United States. Sections run in the same order the kitchen works through the day.
The short answer
Milk, wheat and soy cover almost every row of the Hardee’s allergen menu. Egg follows the omelets, the hand-breading and the mayonnaise, and sesame follows the seeded buns. Peanuts, tree nuts, fish and crustacean shellfish appear on no row, though shake ingredients may be processed where nuts are present.

Hardee’s Allergen Menu Item by Item
Hardee’s allergen menu reads best by component rather than by item. A Made From Scratch™ biscuit brings milk, wheat and soy wherever it goes, and a seeded bun brings sesame. Hand-breading on the chicken brings egg and milk together. Prices for every item here run on the printed price list.
No row on this board declares peanuts, tree nuts, fish or crustacean shellfish. Cross-contact sits apart from the recipe, since one fryer bank and one charbroiler serve the whole menu.
Hardee’s Made From Scratch Biscuit Allergens
Buttermilk and butter put milk into every biscuit on the Hardee’s allergen menu, and the dough puts wheat and soy beside it. Egg reaches most of this section, including Super Bacon Biscuit, Super Sausage Biscuit and Monster Biscuit®. Country Ham Biscuit, Sausage Biscuit, Biscuit ‘N’ Gravy™, Country Fried Steak Biscuit and Pork Chop ‘N’ Gravy Biscuit stop at milk, wheat and soy. Biscuit ‘N’ Gravy™ also anchors the Harold, which adds egg and cheese on top of those three. Sesame turns up only on the two hand-breaded chicken biscuits, which arrive on a seeded roll.

Hardee’s Charbroiled Burger Allergens
Seeded buns put sesame across the charbroiled section of the Hardee’s allergen menu. Cheese and bun dough account for the milk, the wheat and the soy. Egg reaches Super Star®, Famous Star®, Monster Burger®, both bacon cheeseburgers and both Frisco builds through the mayonnaise. Double Mushroom and Swiss and Double Big Cheeseburger leave it out, as do their single versions. Both Frisco builds swap the seeded bun for sourdough and drop sesame with it.

Hardee’s Hand-Breaded Chicken and Tenders
Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich and every tender box declare egg and milk from the breading itself. The wash goes on before the fillet ever meets the fryer. Sesame follows the seeded bun on the sandwiches and stops there, which is why the tender boxes list only milk, egg and wheat. Ranch Tender Wrap, Honey Mustard Tender Wrap and Spicy Tender Wrap swap the bun for a tortilla and pick up soy instead.

Hardee’s Roast Beef, Ham and Hot Dog Allergens

Hardee’s StarPals Kids Meal Allergens

Hardee’s Allergen Menu by Allergen
Cheese slices, buttermilk dough, butter, sausage gravy and ice cream put milk on more rows of the Hardee’s allergen menu than anything else. Every biscuit, every cheeseburger, the roast beef line and the shakes all carry it. Hardee’s runs one supply list across every restaurant, so those components repeat.
Wheat runs the longest list, since biscuit dough, burger buns, tortillas, wraps and the hand-breading all start from flour. Hash Rounds® and Crispy Curls® declare it through their own seasoned coating rather than through a bun.
Egg arrives three ways: a folded omelet or scrambled egg, the wash in the hand-breading, and the mayonnaise on the charbroiled burgers. Soy runs broader again, riding bun dough, sauces and fryer oil across the burgers, the sandwiches and the biscuits.
Sesame here means a seeded bun and nothing else. It follows the charbroiled burgers, the hand-breaded chicken sandwiches, the roast beef line, the Jumbo Chili Dog and three of the kids meals. Both Frisco builds stop it, arriving on sourdough instead.
Dairy-Free Options at Hardee’s
Hardee’s allergen menu clears milk from just five items across the whole board. Jumbo Chili Dog leads the list. Hash Rounds and Crispy Curls follow it onto a very short dairy-free roster. The Hamburger Kid’s Meal and Hot Dog Kids Meal round it out for younger diners.
| Item | Also declares |
|---|---|
| Jumbo Chili Dog | Wheat, Soy, Sesame |
| Hash Rounds® | Wheat |
| Crispy Curls® | Wheat |
| Hamburger Kid’s Meal | Wheat, Sesame |
| Hot Dog Kids Meal | Wheat, Soy, Sesame |
Ordering Gluten-Free at Hardee’s
Hardee’s gluten-free list runs to two items. Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shake and a glass of 1% Milk cover both of them, which leaves nothing solid to eat. Every biscuit, burger, chicken item and side contains wheat, leaving almost nothing else to order.
Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Hardee’s
Hardee’s kitchens run one fryer bank for Hash Rounds®, Natural-Cut French Fries, Crispy Curls® and hand-breaded chicken. One charbroiler handles the beef, so an item can pick up an allergen it does not carry in its own recipe.
Telling the crew about a severe allergy before ordering gives them a chance to change gloves and start a fresh preparation. A biscuit board worked by hand through the morning is the other place flour travels.
