The Red Lobster allergen menu tracks twelve declared allergens across 170 dishes in 21 menu sections, from the seafood boils to the dressings. Dairy, soy and sulfites turn up on more rows than any other allergen, tied to butter, seafood stock and wine-based sauces. Reading the section tables below is the fastest way to check one specific boil, platter or side.
Every row below comes straight from Red Lobster’s own published allergen guide, the same document servers use inside the restaurant. None carry a size or a price. Each row reflects the source exactly, and none of them substitute for reading a label on a to-go container. A blank entry reads as None declared below, never as proof a dish is free of anything.
The short answer
The Red Lobster allergen menu covers 170 dishes across 21 sections, straight from the chain’s own published allergen guide. Each row states only what that item’s own grid entry declares. No figure here is guessed from an ingredient list, a dish’s name or a substitution.

Red Lobster Allergen Menu Item by Item
Every row on the Red Lobster allergen menu keeps the exact wording the chain’s own guide uses for that dish. Twelve allergens appear across the full grid, led by dairy, soy and sulfites from butter, seafood stock and wine-based sauces. Red Lobster keeps its prices on a separate page rather than mixing them into this grid.

Dairy-Free Options at Red Lobster
Dairy does not appear in the declared list for 31 of the 170 items on the Red Lobster allergen menu. Dressings & Condiments carries the largest share at nine items, mostly sauces built without butter or cream. Seafood Boils follows with eight, largely the spice-level and crab-flavor choices rather than the boils themselves. Classic Sides adds four more, and guests avoiding dairy can also ask about a lobster dish served with olive oil instead of butter.
Ordering Gluten-Free at Red Lobster
Wheat and gluten are both absent from the declared list on 87 of the 170 items on the Red Lobster allergen menu. Dressings & Condiments leads with 15 such items, and Seafood Boils follows close behind with 14. Crab Your Way clears nine, and Classic Sides and Add to Any Entree each clear seven. Kid’s Seaside Menu and the remaining sections divide what is left, from six items down to one.
Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Red Lobster
The Red Lobster allergen menu covers every section the same way, row by row rather than by kitchen station. Every Red Lobster location runs one kitchen for the whole menu.
Fried and sauced dishes pass through equipment that other shellfish- and dairy-heavy items have already used that shift, from raw bar starters to fried platters. Telling a server about a serious allergy before ordering covers what this allergen menu cannot. No kitchen guarantees an allergen-free plate.
