Updated 2020! Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is a fried chicken chain with thousands of locations throughout the U.S. and in 30 countries worldwide. Unfortunately, the poultry batter used to make their classic fried chicken contains milk. There are still a few non-dairy options on their menu, but for more dairy-free fried chicken menu items, KFC is a better option.
No Dairy (Milk-Based) Ingredients (see disclaimer below)
- Chicken – Naked Tenders, Naked Chicken Wrap, Naked BBQ Chicken Po’ Boy, Get Up & Geaux Kids’ Meal
- Sides – Baguette, Cajun Fries (see Allergen Note below), Red Beans & Rice, Cajun Rice, Jalapenos, Cole Slaw
- Breakfast – Grits, Hashbrowns (see Allergen Note below)
- Sauces – Barbeque, Sweet Heat, Cocktail, Mardi Gras Mustard, Tartar, Creamy Horseradish
- Dessert – Apple Sauce, Sliced Pecan Pie
Other Allergen Notes:
- They also offer a gluten-free menu on their nutritional information below, which isn’t much, but it is helpful. The following items (all sides) are listed as dairy-free & gluten-free: Applesauce, Red Beans & Rice, Cajun Rice, Jalapenos, Cole Slaw.
- There seems to be an error on their allergen menu. The Cheddar Cheese Tortilla is listed as milk free, and I’m going to guess that it isn’t.
- Also, we previously noted potential milk cross-contamination for the French Fries and Hashbrowns due to a shared fryer with their Fried Chicken. This is no longer noted on their site, so check at the restaurant if this is a concern for you.

The red beans and rice are so satisfying and I love the pickles. I always get a cup of them when I come.

My son got sick from the fries . He has dairy and egg allergies
is the apple pie have soy in it ?
Based on the link I have provided above, it contains both milk and soy.
Amen! I can’t eat milk of any kind so I can hardly eat out anymore so when I do I NEED the employees to be sure about what’s in the food so I’m not sick for a week or end up in the emergency room.
You need to educate your employees better about allergens people’s allergies to dairy or certain ingredients called up the Marysville Washington store they said that they did not use milk checked online only to learn that they do that is not okay if people have allergy season Civic things could be a life-threatening event
