allergen menus

hey mamas! if you have a little one with an allergy (specifically egg), this page may be of help.

as you may know, two of our bbs have egg allergies, and when we found out our first daughter had this allergy, we knew we had out work cut out for us. there's egg in literally everything - or so we thought!

after a few years of navigating this allergy, we've found a good amount of places that offer (kids) menu items with egg-free options and/or disclose their allergen menu online. to make it easier, instead of googling these places each time, i decided to compile a list, so all the places we frequent most are in the same spot.

without further ado, here is a list of toronto-based restaurants and fast food chains that are egg allergy-friendly. 

note: none of this is medical advice - just information i've collected along the way on this journey. always double check the menu item on each restaurant's allergen menu to make sure it is free of the allergen you're trying to avoid.

 

 

FAST FOOD

- burger king (easy-to-navigate nutrional/allegen menu)

- chipotle (a great selection of allergen-free foods - not just egg!)

- domino's pizza (their ingredients list starts on page 20)

- jimmy the greek (almost egg-free)

- jollibee (chicken, spaghetti, sides + desserts are all egg-free)

- kfc (most "snackables & sides")

- mcdonald's (stay away from breakfast, most bakery items + mayo-based sauces and you should be good - ice cream is also egg-free!)

- pizza pizza (their pizzas are egg-free, just stay clear of creamy sauces)

- pizzaville (all their standard doughs - minus the gluten-free one - are egg-free)

- taco bell (turn on the "lifestyle filter" to choose which allergens to avoid on their menu)

- tim horton's (all drinks, flatbread pizzas + select few menu items are egg-free)
