We are going to WDW for a weekend trip in mid October. We just found out that my son is allergic to eggs. He will only be 11 months old, but he eats only adult food now. My concern is food for him. Does anyone know where I can find out if quick service foods like hamburger buns and chicken nuggets has egg in them? Is there a list of ingredients somewhere? Thank you so much!
 
He will not be able to eat the chicken nuggets anywhere. All the chicken nuggets have eggs in them.

Every quick service restaurant has a book with ingredients in it. You need to ask for it at the register.

Hamburger buns were okay the last time i was there.
 
In my experience, the chefs at the resort food courts have much more flexibility to be able to custom make foods like chicken nuggets that the chefs at CS locations in parks. This is one of the many, many reasons we like to take a break back at our resort during the day.

A few CS locations in parks used to carry a special allergy chicken nugget (as of the beginning of March when we were there last). I don't know if they had eggs or not but Brenda can send you information about them including if they still have them, which common allergens they are free off, ingredients as well as which CS locations at each park carry them.

The gluten free hamburger buns used to be Ener-G. These are also egg free. Check with Brenda to make sure that they're still the same kind as well as at which locations they can be found. I realize you may not need gluten free, but they're at least buns that are egg free so you have an option if the regular buns do have eggs (check with Brenda to find out if the regular buns have eggs; maybe they don't).
 
you might be better off just sharing your CS meals with him. They are pretty big and a kids meal might be a waste for a 11 month old. You will find a lot more choices though you still have to check EVERYTHING. Grilled chicken sandwiches are often an option and you can cut some of the chicken off for him. Fruit is almost always a option but I would carry at least some toddler/egg friendly foods at all times.

It also depends on the allergy. DGS has two food allergies. Peanuts is severe and we avoid any food that might even have a possibility of peanut contact. His second is eggs and we do not have to be near as careful. Breaded nuggests are ok for him so be sure to ask the dr what you must avoid.


It's a learning game but it gets easier!

My son, 7, has an allergy to eggs, but eggs as ingredients are fine. He all the chicken nuggets you can imagine when we were at WDW last week, along with Mac and Cheese and Hotdogs and hamburgers.

He can't have a plate of eggs or the flu shot, though, since it's cultured with eggs.


So I'd ask your doctor for clarification.
 
Once cooked, the protein is severely denatured. Some people can handle it once cooked. My child when younger was so severely allergic that my wife would eat something with egg in it (not even the egg, just something with egg as an ingredient, like a cookie or bread) and even once denatured through cooking and absorbed by her body, he would still develop bleeding skin reactions within an hour of nursing. She was on a total elimination diet for years. Af four years old (yes, he still nurses) he can handle eggs through breastmilk and can also handle foods cooked for a long period of time (like, he can eat cake but not cookies, cake have a lower egg concentration to begin with and are typically baked 40 minutes or more, veruss 15 for a cookie).

Long-winded way to tell you to determine the severity of his allergy. When my son was first skin tested, his egg reaction was larger than his pure histamine reaction. There is no surefire way to determine how severe the allergy is, but many AI docs can give you an educated guess.

The pizza is safe, the chicken nuggets never are, macaroni was once. The buns are fine, PBJ is fine. Most CS locations will make him grilled chicken in lieu of nuggets upon request. There is a complete ingredient list available for almost all items.
 
My DD5 has a severe egg allergy (Level 6 RAST and anaphlaxtic). DS2 is also allergic to eggs, but only a Level 2 RAST. When eating at CS restaurants, I explain the situation and usually ask for a manager or chef who can clarify cooking methods and cross contamination risks (for example, french fries may or may not be safe depending on what else is cooked in the oil). The manager/chef will often plate my DD's food for a little more reassurance regarding cross contamination (not a gurantee, but at least I know that a meatball containing eggs wasn't sitting on top of DD's spaghetti).

As of last May, the mac and cheese at all CS restaurants, except for Mara, had egg whites in the pasta, which was a big bummer for my kids. We have wonderful experiences in the Pop Century food court. The chefs have prepared my DD egg free Mickey waffles several times. I'm not sure if other resort food courts offer the same since we are not normally big breakfast eaters, but we were offered the waffles on two seperate trips.
