YesDo they let the customer/student know there’s mushrooms? I’m highly allergic to mushrooms and it honestly would never occur to me to ask if there were any ‘shrooms in the burger meat…
The University near us has a great policy.
I don’t know how many allergens your local university identifies, but given the number and types of allergies that people talk about here, it wouldn’t be feasible for WDW to do that.The University near us has a great policy.
Similar to the way many chain restaurants menus now put a small leaf beside menu items that are vegetarian (P.F. Changs for example https://www.pfchangs.com/menu ), the university has expanded upon that idea. Dining Services uses easy to understand color-coded allergen/vegan/vegetarian symbols next to every item on their buffet. (Plus Kosher and one to indicate a Locally sourced food) Without having to ask, every diner can easily see if a food item has meat, sesame, etc.
It is so fantastic!
It is a great place to eat for everyone in general, especially for the price. It would be great if WDW adopted a similar notation system.
No. all cows are not equal. The food source for the cow affects the meat. A good friend is super-sensitive to select substance. She can eat grass/organic fed meat but is allergic to components of enhanced feed that persist into meat from those cows.Huh?
A cow is a cow is a cow.
You're saying WDW's might be all-beef one day, but not the next?

The University covers the top 8, as already required on ALL nutrition labels. They are: milk, egg, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, soy, and fish. Number 9 is sesame.I don’t know how many allergens your local university identifies,
Here are a few specific examples, I am quoting directly from the menus:I think it depends on the menu (anywhere - WDW or elsewhere). If the burger description says something like special, artisanal, house, homemade, blend, signature, flavorful, custom, etc. then I probably assume something more than just a basic hamburger. If it’s a QS/fastfood type place then I’m more likely to assume a pre-made beef Patty if not otherwise noted with a description.
Icons are not "easy" for individuals with sight limitations. There is not a. international standard set of icons...
Disney's mobile order menus already list allergen-free foods, including sesame. The idea I suggested is just a variation on something that is already done in many restaurants, including WDW's own allergen menus, though not with the easy icons.

Go figure, someone already posted a great webpage on the topic. Here's all the details of why and how explained in full detail: https://www.gonnaorder.com/blog/wha...ng-allergen-information-on-your-digital-menu/
If I had a food allergy that might get hidden in a burger, several of those menu items would cause me to question the server/chef.Here are a few specific examples, I am quoting directly from the menus:
