Allergen Breakdown

Dairy-Free

Check with staff

Peanut butter is sometimes used to seal wrapper edges. While peanut butter is dairy-free, some brands contain milk solids. Verify preparation method.

Gluten-Free

Likely contains restriction

The wrapper is wheat flour-based.

Peanut-Free

Check with staff

Peanut butter is sometimes used to seal the wrapper. Cross-contamination from peanut oil in shared fryers.

Tree Nut-Free

Likely OK

Tree nuts are not typically in spring rolls.

Shellfish-Free

Check with staff

Shrimp versions contain shellfish. Shared fryers with shrimp versions create cross-contamination.

Egg-Free

Check with staff

Some wrapper recipes include egg. Verify.

Fish-Free

Likely OK

Fish is not typically in standard spring rolls.

Soy-Free

Likely contains restriction

Soy sauce is in the filling and dipping sauce.

Vegetarian

Check with staff

Vegetable versions exist but may share fryers with pork and shrimp versions.

Key risk: Spring roll wrappers are wheat-based. A less-known fact: some preparations use a thin smear of peanut butter to seal the wrapper's edge before frying, making these unsafe even for peanut-allergic diners who might assume a vegetable roll is safe. Cross-contamination in fryers with other items is common.
