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).

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

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.
