Arby's

Chain-level protocol record — this page documents what Arby's's head office publishes for all locations. It is not a listing for one restaurant, and no individual location is graded here.

Arby's is a national fast-food chain known for roast beef sandwiches, curly fries and shakes. Its US nutrition and allergen document lists the allergens contained in each menu item against the nine major food allergens named by federal regulations — milk, eggs, wheat, soybeans, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish and crustacean shellfish — and flags items cooked in shared oil. It suits diners who want per-item allergen declarations, with the chain's own note that fried items are cooked in common oil.

The allergen matrix, as published

Arby's addresses 9 of the 10 allergens we track in its published allergen material. "Not addressed" means the chain's document does not cover that allergen — it does not mean the allergen is absent from the food.

Good to know before you book

Questions diners ask about Arby's

Does Arby's publish an allergen menu or matrix?

Yes — Arby's publishes allergen material in pdf-matrix form, linked from this page and last checked on 2026-10-28. It addresses 9 of the 10 allergens we track.

Which allergens does Arby's's published material not cover?

It does not address: Gluten. Not addressed means the chain's document is silent on that allergen — not that the allergen is absent from the food.

If Arby's publishes a protocol, does every location follow it the same way?

A chain document is a ceiling, not a location guarantee. Locations vary in staff, equipment and practice, so a location listing on this site carries its own tier and its own last-checked date, and the questions on the visit-prep card are the ones to ask at the location you are visiting.

What does Arby's itself say about cross-contact?

Chain states fried menu items are cooked in common oil and that possible contact with other major allergens is indicated in the document.

The chain's cross-contact statement

Chain states fried menu items are cooked in common oil and that possible contact with other major allergens is indicated in the document.

Questions to ask at your location

  1. Is the fryer shared with breaded or battered items, and what else is cooked in that oil?
  2. Is there a separate prep area, boards and utensils for allergy orders?
  3. How are staff trained on food allergies, and how often is that training refreshed?
  4. How is an allergy order flagged and communicated to the kitchen, so it cannot be mixed up?
  5. What do you do to prevent cross-contact during prep, cooking and plating?

ConfidentDiner collects allergen and preparation information from restaurants’ published materials, from restaurants themselves, and from diners. Information is dated and sourced, but menus, ingredients, suppliers, staff, and kitchen practices change without notice, and cross-contact can occur in any non-dedicated kitchen. Nothing on this site is medical advice or a guarantee that any restaurant or dish is safe for any individual. Always tell the restaurant about your allergy, confirm current practices directly before ordering, and make your own decision with your medical professional’s guidance.
