Subway, unlike what seems to be most every other restaurant in the universe, actually notes if a menu item or ingredient “merely” contains soybean oil. We’ve gotten so frustrated by restaurants not having the decency to list soy as an ingredient if “only” soybean oil is used. On … Read more

According to the Soy Allergy page of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), here are other terms that may also imply … Read more

What we ordered: Plain turkey, macaroni & cheese, fresh fruit cup, fresh broccoli with butter (make sure it’s real butter and not margarine). … Read more
Tragically, there’s really nothing here that doesn’t have soy in one form or another. At least they have the decency to note that soybean oil is used in items that “otherwise don’t contain soy”. https://www.tacobell.com/nutrition/allergens Interestingly enough, they list that their tortilla chips don’t contain soy or soybean oil, but I’ve yet to meet a … Read more

Unfortunately they fry in soybean oil so that excludes all fried items. They also use it in their pizza dough and cool their pasta in soybean oil. Gyro meat and gyro sauce also have soy.
