Gluten & Allergen Information
If you have allergies or gluten sensitivity, proceed with caution. The melt contains common allergens like milk, egg, soy, and wheat. The Texas Toast contains gluten, and even if you choose to skip it, there is still a possibility of cross-contamination in kitchen settings. The cheese is typically gluten-free, and the sausage patty may be processed in facilities with gluten and soy.
