Burger King Salad

[jaimi alderson]

Hi! Burger King's website lists foods that are "wheat free." Does anyone know if this means gluten free? I am particularly wondering about their tendergrill chicken salad that is listed as "wheat free." Or what can we eat at Burger King? Thanks for any help you can give me!

Hi Jaimi--I'm not familiar with Burger King's menu, but wheat free is *not* the same as gluten free. Even if a food is wheat free, it could still contain barley or rye (or oats).

When I went to Burger King for my basketball road trips, I ordered the low carb chicken breast, which is a chicken breast that is just put on a few lettuce leaves and topped with a tomato slice. I always talked to the manager to make sure there was as little chance as possible for cross contamination. The chicken does have soy in it though.

Hey there

I used to work at a BK when I was in high school. I know things may have changed since then but...The buns go through a roller that is directly above the grill area so cross contam. is a high risk, but...we used to cook the chicken at like 6am when doing the salads so you may want to check on that. I personally would not feel comfortable ordering the chicken, even plain during the day. Too risky for me. The plain salads should be ok though. I believe the salad dressings are Ken's brand. Chicken breasts come frozen by the box of course, so may need to check the ingredients. Could always call the company!! Hope it helps!
