Arby’s

Updated 2018! Arby’s is the second largest sandwich chain in the U.S. with thousands of restaurants and additional locations in Canada and the Middle East. Almost all of their sandwiches come with cheese. But you can custom order a dairy-free sandwich by omitting the cheese and using the list of options below. The list below is for the U.S. restaurants, but we’ve included a link to the Canada allergen information further down in this post.

Other Allergen Notes: Arby’s clearly notes that some items, like the Harvest Wheat Buns, are produced on shared equipment with milk and other allergens. They also note that a common fryer is used, so there is potential allergen cross-contamination with the fried items. Many of the menu items are different in Canada and are even sourced differently. For example, the Turnovers (apple and blueberry) are listed as made without milk in Canada, but not in the U.S. And they have additional non-dairy menu items like Crispy Chicken and Onion Rings, in Canada. See the Canadian allergen link for Arby’s below.
