Strategies for Avoiding Allergens

Avoiding the risks of allergies at Popeyes requires careful planning and communication. Some effective strategies can help ensure your safety:

Know Your Allergens

First, identify the foods you are allergic to or suspect might cause an allergy, along with their hidden forms.

For example, dairy can appear in casein, whey, or butter, and gluten can be found in sauces, soups, or breaded items.

Read Menus Carefully

Many restaurants have clear labels such as “gluten-free,” “dairy-free,” or “nut-free.” Look for these labels and carefully review them before placing your order. Many restaurants also provide this information online.

Ask Questions

Ask the staff questions without hesitation, such as how the dishes are prepared and which oil is used, etc. Inquire about cross-contamination, ingredients, and potential alternatives. For instance, ask if the fries are cooked in the same oil as breaded items.

Communicate Clearly

Be clear with the staff and tell them about your allergies. Instead of saying “I can’t have gluten,” say “I have a severe gluten allergy, and I need to avoid all forms of wheat, barley, and rye.”

Simplify Your Order

Always prefer simple foods made with fewer ingredients, as this can reduce the risk of allergies. Or, if you’re avoiding dairy, ask for items without butter or cheese, or if you’re allergic to gluten, request gluten-free sides or ask to skip the breading.

Avoid Cross-Contamination

Try to visit restaurants during less busy times. Ask the staff if the restaurant uses separate utensils, cookware, or fryers for allergy-free meals. If they cannot guarantee this, request that your food be prepared with clean equipment.
