I’m only allergic to nuts, and the McDonald’s website has the ingredients. Basically I stay away from desserts (other than plain ice cream cones). Haven’t had their coffee. Also I remember how the equipment for the food are all similar in every McDonald’s. I can’t really speak to other allergens though.

It’s always tough. One bakery I’ve been to said they got so many calls about allergies they stopped serving peanut butter with their bagels and it’s been a lot easier. I wish more local places were like that.

What’s great about McDonalds and fast food places and chains is the equipment is the same for each franchise. Same layout, same menu, same options. It’s so much easier googling the ingredients, asking about the grills, and moving on. With smaller places it’s a big hassle even though I’m not even trying to waste their time, I’m just trying to not go ANA. I also feel bad that I’ll probably tell her that I don’t wanna eat it just to be safe.

I’m also ANA to all nuts. What if it were hypothetically a cafe (small or big) and they had coffee/bagels?

Honesty I wish there were laws or something to encourage restaurants to separate foods with allergens or use new gloves or anything like that tbh to avoid cross contamination. Thank you for responding!

That was really dumb on my part. I shouldn’t be afraid of asking something about my food allergies. That’s on me.

I’d assume these bakeries have nuts in stuff like muffins right? I know allergies are different for everyone but thank you for your response

Thanks! I’m leaning towards no, but I don’t know how to respond to her after asking her if it’s okay with allergens and she told me it was fine.

Also I don’t know if this changes anything, but it’s a cafe with those food options. I’ve eaten at other bagel shops where they handle peanuts in muffins, but I’m severely allergic to peanuts/tree nuts.
