- 1. My son has a peanut allergy and recently reacted after eating a chicken legend meal followed by a plain ice-cream which he has eaten before-is there any chance of any of these products containing or being in contact with a nut.

Food allergies are a major priority at McDonald's and the company works closely with the Anaphylaxis Campaign and it's suppliers to continually improve standards. If you have not done so already, you should contact the Anaphylaxis Campaign organisation for support and advice. In all standard McDonald's UK restaurants no items on the menu contain nuts as ingredients, and this includes the entire Breakfast Menu, all the burgers, the Chicken McNuggets, McChicken Sandwiches, the Filet-o-Fish and the French Fries. There are a few McCafe restaurants in the UK where this is not the case. In McCafe restaurants some products may contain nuts as ingredients however these products will be carefully labelled. If you are in any doubt please discuss your requirements with the restaurant manager and they will be happy to advise you. The full nutritional breakdown and allergen information for all McDonald’s food can be found in the ‘Food’ section at www.mcdonalds.co.uk.
In some cases children can develop allergies to other ingredients over time, so it would be worth discussing this with your doctor.
