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
From: Priyanka Subject: Soybean Phytoestrogen Content Message Body: Hi! First and foremost, this website is awesome! Thanks for compiling all of these resources in an easy to access website. Second, I am a first year medical student who has had a problem with her skin since high school. I noticed in college that I would … Read more
Unfortunately the Mr. Hero website has absolutely zero ingredient and allergen information on their website. We were able to stop into a location, and from a cursory check, it seemed that pretty much 100% of their food had soy in it in one form or another.
We took our son to Carrabba’s for his birthday, as it’s one of the only Italian restaurants that our kids can eat some of the food. Now, not only does Carrabba’s lasagne have soy in it, their bread does too. They’ve quit making ice cream (but they do make gelato now). Again, I’ve got notes, … Read more
We learned that an event that our daughter was going to was going to have Cheerios as part of the snack. We couldn’t remember if Cheerios were ok, so I hopped online to check the ingredients / allergen information. This is the extremely useful information that cheerios.com has to offer: If I had the stinking box … 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
Unfortunately, when you’re dealing with allergies, you’ve got to read labels all the time… and not just once, but every time. We almost learned that the hard way today. We had found an inexpensive pasta sauce from Little Italy Foods that didn’t contain soybean oil. There were 3 or 4 flavors and all of them … Read more
These items intrigued me. They were next to the soy free bread at Aldi. So I happened to look at them. Our kids can never have any junk food because it all has soy in it. Well, imagine my surprise to find that these two items did not contain soy. Usually anything with bread/cake/cookies or … Read more
Aldi’s never ceases to amaze me. Not only have they started carrying organic items that are only about ten cents more expensive than the non-organic offerings. I’ve now discovered that Aldi has 8 different types of soy-free bread in their stores. I was stunned. I’ve been in other grocery stores and have looked at every … 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]
