Thanks to alert reader Barbara Cherry for this information on Moe’s Southwest Grill: Check out this allergen filter for Moe’s menu. You can choose more than one allergen, along with food type (taco, burrito, etc.), and it grays out items that are excluded due to allergens selected. But if you change food type, go back … Read more
M. Bonafede reports We’ve had reasonable success finding items our soy-allergic daughter can eat at Panera. (her allergy didn’t get severe until teen years, so we’re new at this). Many of Panera’s breads do not have soy. So if we avoid the marinated sandwich fillings, tuna/chicken salad, and make it very clear that no dressing … Read more
This was a pleasant surprise. We figured there was no way the kids could have the Mint Chocolate Swirl Shake at Arby’s, minus the Andes mints. For those of you interested in the components: it’s made from their Vanilla Shake base, mint syrup (shipped in special for this promotion), the chocolate frosting from the chocolate turnovers, … Read more
Alexa submitted this information on Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ‘n Biscuits: I’m allergic to soy and nightshade vegetables. My family loves road trips which leaves me hanging most of the time since fast food is chock full of soy. And if it’s not, there’s a nightshade vegetable in it. So Bojangles’ was on the list of new places for … Read more
I haven’t gotten around to creating entries for all of the pizza franchises we’ve checked (in northeast Ohio), but here’s the running list: Soy in crust and/or sauce Pizza Hut Papa John’s Teresa’s Pizza Romeo’s Pizza Ci Ci’s Pizza (soy in crust, but they’ll let you bring in your own crust, like Boboli) No soy in … Read more
We had pretty much given up on all pizza franchises, as every one that we ever checked always had soy in the crust (“dough conditioning”, I think. Not sure what that means, but that’s been relayed to us on at least one occasion) or in the sauce itself. At the insistence of our friends Kim … Read more
I can’t remember the details off the top of my head, but the last time we went to Carrabba’s, our son was extremely disappointed to learn that things have changed at Carrabba’s, and now he can’t have their lasagna because there’s soybean oil in it now. I can’t remember what all things changed, but there were some … Read more
Well, this should be my 3rd or 4th post about Spaghetti Warehouse, but I keep getting different answers every time we visit, so I’m always hesitant to post anything here. Our most current visit tells us that Spaghetti Warehouse (like most Italian restaurants) put soybean oil on their just-cooked noodles to keep them from sticking … Read more
Thanks to Angela for reminding me of the wonderful news: Chipotle is finally (mostly) Soy Free! We were in a Chipotle a couple of weeks ago and were pleasantly surprised to find out Chipotle now uses canola oil in their tortillas. That makes everything we care about 100% soy free at Chipotle. They do ?now? ?still? … Read more
A reader asked, is there “Soy in Olive Garden menu?” Unfortunately, we haven’t gotten to try to order at an Olive Garden restaurant, but I can make some pretty good educated guesses. First by looking at their allergen guide, you can see that pretty much everything is marked as containing soy. I can’t tell if … Read more
DiningWithoutSoy.com is 10 years old!
Our kids have outgrown their soy allergies, but we keep this site running to help everybody else who is going through the same grief.
We'd love to keep this site relevant for every other parent (and person) that has to go through this nightmare. If you collect any information about any organization that serves food, please share it with us and we'll make sure the world knows about it.
Because "most" people do not have a reaction to highly refined soybean oil, most restaurants and food labels will not even list food as containing soy if it "merely" contains soybean oil. [read more]
