Quote from admin on October 5, 2023, 12:00 amMy son is severly allergic to nuts/peanuts (airborne) and we have eaten there a couple of times. He loves their burgers and no reaction. We asked and they do NOT use peanut oil in their cooking.

Quote from admin on October 5, 2023, 12:00 amI have a question about this place, too. We just ate there tonight. My youngest, who has shown NO reactions to any foods until tonight ordered the hot dog w/fries & chocolate milk. She mostly ate the fries w/ketchup and the chocolate milk. We rarely eat out, and eat mostly simple foods that I prepare at home. She ate about 2 bites of the hot dog, so I dont think she had enough of the nitrates (which we avoid at home) to induce a reaction...
Halfway through her meal, her hands got super red and a bit swollen and were hurting her a lot. Shes 4 so she couldnt describe it any better than that it hurt.
I immediately asked for allergen info and ingredients list. I only received allergen info. I asked more questions, and learned that the fries come frozen, not fresh like In-N-Out. So, my guess is an MSG reaction?
Does anyone know of any other allergens in their food? Im mystified!
thanks,
Alexandra

I am sorry to hear about your daughters reaction Alexandra. Have you come to any conclusions?
