Red Lobster allergen menu,
from its own guide.

This chart copies Red Lobster's allergen guide, valid from October 12, 2026 to November 15, 2026. It covers 136 dishes, sides and sauces: the allergens the guide lists for each, whether it lists gluten, and its mark for a special risk of cross-contact from the cooking method.

We never work out an allergen from a dish's name or description, because a wrong guess can hurt someone. If a row here and the guide ever disagree, the guide is right.

What Red Lobster's allergen guide says

The guide points to its handcrafted dishes, shared kitchens and reliance on suppliers. It doesn't show which items may have been made in a facility with an allergen, and a recipe or supplier can change before the guide catches up. In its own words: “we cannot eliminate the risk of cross-contact or guarantee that any item is free of any allergen.”

Red Lobster allergen menu: the full chart

Grouped as the guide groups them. A dish the guide lists in several sections, with the same allergens each time, appears once, in the first. The cooking risk column is the guide's mark for a special risk of cross-contact from the cooking method; it covers every allergen, not just the ones listed.

Ordering with a food allergy, in three steps

1
Check every part of the meal. The guide leaves the sides, dressings and dipping sauces out of a dish's row unless it says otherwise. Each has its own row in the chart, so look up all of them.
2
Then talk to your restaurant. A guide describes recipes. It doesn't describe how one kitchen is laid out, which fryers are shared, or what changed on a supplier's last delivery. Call ahead if the allergy is serious.
3
Say it again when you order. Tell your server the specific allergen before the order goes in. It gives the kitchen a chance to flag the ticket, which a chart can never do.

A shellfish allergy at a seafood restaurant

The guide marks 51 of the 136 items in this chart with shellfish such as shrimp, crab and lobster, and 7 with mollusks such as scallops. Shellfish isn't confined to a few dishes. It's throughout the kitchen, and most cooked dishes carry the guide's cooking risk mark. So the real question is often not which dish to pick but whether eating in that kitchen is a risk you want to take. That's a conversation to have with the restaurant and, for a severe allergy, with your doctor.

For calories, the nutrition table lists every item we have a figure for. For gluten on its own, the gluten free menu splits the same guide into what has gluten and what doesn't.

Questions about this menu

Does Red Lobster have an allergen menu?

Yes. Red Lobster publishes an allergen guide for its US restaurants, valid from October 12, 2026 to November 15, 2026. For every dish, side and sauce, it marks 11 allergens: peanut, tree nut, soy, egg, milk, wheat, fish, mollusks, shellfish, sesame and added sulfites. It also shows whether gluten is in the ingredients and marks a special risk of cross-contact from the cooking method. The chart on this page copies it.

Does Red Lobster have peanuts or tree nuts?

Red Lobster's allergen guide marks no item with peanut or tree nut. The guide still says it can't eliminate the risk of cross-contact or guarantee that any item is free of any allergen. It also doesn't show what may have been made in a facility with an allergen.

Does Red Lobster fry in soybean oil?

Yes. Red Lobster's allergen guide says its fried items are prepared in an oil blend that contains soybean oil. Highly refined soybean oil is exempt from allergen labeling under FDA rules, so the guide doesn't mark a fried item with soy unless it has another form of soy protein. It marks 78 items on this page with soy.
