Eating out presents significant challenges for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, especially at fast-food restaurants like Popeyes. While most of their menu, including famous chicken items, contains gluten due to wheat flour coatings, there are still safe options. The blackened tenders are gluten-free, and some sides like coleslaw can be enjoyed as well. Popeyes also offers flavorful gluten-free sauces, and it is crucial for diners to communicate their sensitivity to ensure safety from cross-contamination.
Eating out is always a big challenge for celiacs and those with gluten intolerance. Even when there are 'gluten-free options' on the menu, there's always that nagging worry about cross-contamination or hidden ingredients that might trigger a reaction.
According to the chain's latest August 2024 allergen information, the classic bone-in chicken, tenders, and yes, even that viral chicken sandwich have wheat flour in their coating.
Fortunately, you don't have to enjoy those wheat-free Popeyes menu items plain. Popeyes actually offers quite a few gluten-free sauce options to add flavor to your meal.
If you do decide to order something, though, even if it's advertised as wheat-free on the menu, be sure to let the staff know about your gluten sensitivity.
