Allergen Information at The Goat Deli – Your Safety is Our Priority

At The Goat Deli, we are committed to providing delicious, fresh meals that cater to a variety of dietary needs. To ensure the safety of all our customers, we provide comprehensive allergen information to help you make informed choices when selecting your meal. Whether you have a food allergy or are simply trying to avoid certain ingredients, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to enjoy our offerings with peace of mind.

Common Allergens in Our Menu

Here is a list of the most common allergens that may be found in our menu items:

Gluten: Many of our dishes contain gluten, particularly in our bread and wraps. However, we do offer gluten-free bread and wraps for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Dairy: Some of our dishes contain cheese and dairy-based sauces. If you’re lactose intolerant or following a dairy-free diet, be sure to ask about our dairy-free options or request your meal without cheese.
Eggs: Eggs may be present in some items, particularly in dressings or egg-based dishes. Let us know if you need an egg-free version.
Soy: We use soy-based products (such as tofu and soy sauce) in some of our dishes. Please ask about soy-free options if you have a soy allergy.
Peanuts and Tree Nuts: Although we don’t use peanuts or tree nuts as primary ingredients in most dishes, cross-contamination can occur. If you have a severe nut allergy, please inform our staff so we can take extra precautions.
Shellfish and Fish: Fish and shellfish are not commonly used in our menu items, but please inquire if you have an allergy, as we may use certain items (like fish-based sauces or dried fish products) in specific dishes.
Sesame: Sesame seeds may be present in certain sandwich options, particularly wraps or burger buns. Our kitchen may also use sesame oil in some of our salad dressings and toppings.
Mustard: Some of our dressings and sauces contain mustard. If you’re avoiding mustard due to an allergy, ask for mustard-free versions of the condiments.

Cross-Contamination Awareness

While we take every precaution to prevent cross-contamination in our kitchen, it’s important to note that our kitchen processes may involve shared equipment and utensils. Cross-contact may occur with allergens, so please let us know if you have a severe food allergy so we can take extra steps to reduce risk.

Allergen-Free Ingredients: Many of our menu options can be modified to suit various dietary needs. Our team is trained to ensure that your food is prepared with the proper precautions to avoid allergens.
