Panda Express Allergen Menu and Ingredients

Wheat reaches thirty-eight of the thirty-nine food items on the Panda Express allergen menu, and plain White Steamed Rice is the one exception. Soy reaches thirty-five, and the listing also names milk, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish and sesame against particular dishes. Kung Pao Chicken is the only peanut scoop. Honey Walnut Shrimp gathers the widest set of declarations against any single item.

Milk appears on eight food items and egg on nine. Sesame reaches twenty-two of the thirty-nine, and the twenty-one drinks declare nothing.

Panda Express allergen menu at a glance

Panda Express Allergen Menu Item by Item

Each line below belongs to one item exactly as that item declares it. The Original Orange Chicken reads egg, soy, wheat and sesame, while Black Pepper Sirloin Steak carries only soy and wheat. Honey Walnut Shrimp reads six declarations, which is the longest string on the Panda Express allergen menu.

Shared woks, shared tongs and a hot line open to the room sit behind every row here. Telling the server about an allergy is still worth doing. The kitchen itself does not change.

Sections below follow the wok line in the order a server walks it. Calorie counts for the same scoops sit with the Panda Express price list, alongside every price.

Panda Express Chicken Entree Allergens

Wheat sits under every chicken scoop on the line, and soy under all but SweetFire Chicken Breast. The Original Orange Chicken, Hot Orange Chicken and Hot Ones Blazing Bourbon Chicken add egg, and the Hot Ones scoop adds milk as well. Kung Pao Chicken is the only scoop carrying peanuts, finished with chili peppers and tossed with vegetables in a Sichuan-inspired dish.

Sesame appears on nine of the fourteen chicken scoops. SweetFire Chicken Breast declares wheat alone, and Crispy Almond Chicken Breast is the scoop carrying tree nuts. Hot Orange Chicken sits on the Party Size Entree list and carries the same four declarations as the original.

Panda Express Beef and Shrimp Allergens

Honey Walnut Shrimp declares six allergens: milk, egg, soy, wheat, tree nuts and shellfish. Beijing Beef adds milk to its own soy and wheat. Broccoli Beef and Cantonese BBQ Brisket each carry soy, wheat and sesame, which sets them apart from the plainer Black Pepper Sirloin Steak. That steak stops at soy and wheat.

Steamed Ginger Fish is the only item declaring fish, alongside milk, soy and wheat. Shellfish reaches six dishes: Honey Walnut, Wok-Fired, Firecracker and Chili Crisp Shrimp, plus Crispy Sesame Shrimp & Beef and Wok Seared Steak & Shrimp. Chili Crisp Shrimp and Crispy Sesame Shrimp & Beef also declare sesame.

Panda Express Tofu Entree Allergens

Eggplant Tofu carries soy, wheat and sesame, with no milk or egg declaration.

Panda Express Side, Rice and Noodle Allergens

Chow Mein declares soy, wheat and sesame. Fried Rice adds egg to that same trio. Super Greens, the broccoli, kale and cabbage mix, stops at soy and wheat.

Chow Fun declares milk, soy and wheat, and it is the only side with milk. White Steamed Rice declares none of the nine tracked allergens.

Panda Express Appetizer Allergens

Cream Cheese Rangoon declares milk, egg and wheat with no soy, and Apple Pie Roll reads the same way. Chicken Egg Roll holds the longest string of the five appetizers, with five declarations running from milk and egg to sesame. Veggie Spring Roll and Chicken Potsticker each declare soy, wheat and sesame.

Panda Express Cub Meal Allergens

Three Cub Meals on the Panda Express allergen menu carry their own declarations. The Orange Chicken Panda Cub Meal declares egg, soy, wheat and sesame. The Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli Beef versions each declare soy, wheat and sesame.

Panda Express Drink Allergens

All twenty-one drinks on the Panda Express allergen menu declare none of the nine tracked allergens. That covers the fountain sodas and teas, the four flavored refreshers and two brewed teas, and the bottled ginger ale.

Dairy-Free Options at Panda Express

Thirty-one of the thirty-nine food items on the Panda Express allergen menu declare no milk, and so do all twenty-one drinks. Every chicken scoop skips it except Hot Ones Blazing Bourbon Chicken, along with Broccoli Beef, Black Pepper Sirloin Steak, Cantonese BBQ Brisket and Eggplant Tofu.

Every shrimp dish except Honey Walnut Shrimp carries no milk declaration. Neither do Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Super Greens, White Steamed Rice, Veggie Spring Roll, Chicken Potsticker or the three Cub Meals.

Eight items declare milk: Beijing Beef, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Steamed Ginger Fish and Hot Ones Blazing Bourbon Chicken. Chow Fun, Chicken Egg Roll, Apple Pie Roll and Cream Cheese Rangoon make up the rest. Every row in the table below except White Steamed Rice still declares wheat, and most add soy, egg, sesame or another allergen.

Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Panda Express

Panda Express cooks every scoop in woks that pass from one recipe to the next through a service. Tongs, spoons and prep boards move the same way. Panda Express cooks in the open, not in a back kitchen.

Shared equipment therefore sits outside what the Panda Express allergen menu can declare. An allergen present anywhere on that line can reach any item sitting on it.

Telling the server about a serious allergy before ordering covers what a printed table cannot. It gives the line a chance to change gloves, reach for a clean utensil and pull from a fresh tray. Anyone with a severe allergy should treat every scoop as sharing equipment.
