I’ve learned that not all fast food restaurants have allergy statements on their websites…that really must change. I hope this list is helpful to someone out there! This list will continue to grow as time goes on and I collect more nutrition and allergy statements (in pdf form – feel free to download and print these). It turns out, after all my research, I’ve found I really can’t eat at fast food joints anymore (save In-N-Out) and so I do my best to cook at home, bring my lunch to work, and order carefully at non-fast-food restaurants. I thought I’d post these statements in one easy-to-access place in case someone else is on the same journey as I am. I’ve only found one place to easily order a presumably soy- and milk-free entree: In-N-Out (see my blog about this: Hooray for In-N-Out!

Plus, the meats are marinated in sauces with soy, and they likely come from animals that are soy-fed. Soy is a common ingredient in the sauces, marinades, salad dressings, seasonings, frying oil, and breads. It turns out it is quite difficult to avoid soy and milk while eating at most of these joints. Little did I know, I was allergic to ingredients in every meal I ordered at every fast food restaurant I frequented. I am a very busy gal – single mom with a full time job – so cooking my meals at home was not always a convenient option…So…I guess you would have called me a fast foodie, even though I did my best to order the healthiest options at various fast food restaurants. I threw away bags and bags of items containing soy from my pantry. However, since then I’ve rapidly discovered soy is in nearly everything I used to eat regularly. Momentarily, I wasn’t too worried about eliminating soy from my diet, because I thought I didn’t eat very much of it. Yet, in January of this year, I figured out I was allergic to soy (after already dealing with an allergy to milk products for a year). Except when I occasionally eat Japanese food…edamame and/or sushi with soy sauce.” I didn’t eat tofu and I didn’t drink soy milk or use soy-based products. 3 1/2 months ago, had someone asked me if I consumed soy, I would have said, “No.
