General Food Allergen Information
Not all people can eat all foods. Some foods or ingredients can cause adverse reactions due to individual body chemistries. These can be described as either food intolerance or food allergies. Food intolerance is reactions to chemicals in food, such as monosodium glutamate (MSG), or the mineral sulfur. Enzyme deficiencies, such as lactose intolerance, can also lead to discomfort when lactose-containing foods are consumed.
Actual food allergies can come on suddenly or may be delayed and can be very serious. Among the most common allergy-causing foods are:
- Milk
- Eggs
- Peanuts/Tree Nuts
- Wheat
- Soy
- Fish/Shellfish
Johnny Rockets products may contain one or more of the potential allergens listed here. Please know that we do everything in our power to ensure a pleasant visit for all of our guests. This includes keeping strict guidelines to help minimize the possibility of cross-contamination of products which can be considered allergens. If your condition is life threatening then it may be in your best interest to avoid our restaurant due to the possible, however extremely unlikely, event that residue from the products you are concerned with may come in contact with those considered safe.
We have compiled a complete listing of all ingredients, allergens & sensitivities. Please click here to view.
Notes about wheat allergies and celiac disease
Celiac disease and wheat allergies are two distinct conditions. Celiac disease, or celiac sprue, is a permanent adverse reaction to gluten. Those with celiac disease will not lose their sensitivity to this substance. This disease requires a lifelong restriction of gluten.
The major grains that contain gluten are wheat, rye, oats, and barley. People with celiac disease must strictly avoid these grains and their by-products.
Wheat-allergic people have an IgE-mediated response to wheat protein. These individuals must only avoid wheat. Most wheat-allergic children outgrow the allergy.
Johnny Rockets products feature ingredients which may contain wheat flour and/or gluten. If your condition is life threatening then it may be in your best interest to avoid our restaurant due to the possible, however extremely unlikely, event that residue from contraindicated products may come in contact with those considered "safe." We are in contact with the Celiac Disease Foundation as well as the Celiac Sprue Association in order to obtain more information.
Notes about soy allergies
Johnny Rockets currently uses soybean oil for its fried foods. Studies show that most soy-allergic individuals may safely eat soybean oil and soy lecithin. Therefore these items are not called out specifically on the Ingredients List as potential allergens. Patients should consult their doctors on whether or not to avoid these ingredients.
