Are Arby's roast beef and ham safe?

[Wugmama]

I know it is a long shot.

I need to avoid:
wheat/gluten
diary
soy
corn
eggs
nightshade

They sort of look safe but then again corn isn't on their list:

Fry and Soybean Oil
When checking food allergens, it is important to know all of our fried products may be cooked using shared frying oil. Please consult the allergen listings and ingredient statements for all of these products, and assume they share a cooking source. These products include, but are not limited to the following: Curly Fries, Potato Cakes, Mozzarella Sticks, Jalapeño Bites®, Onion Petals, Loaded Potato Bites®, Chicken Breast Fillet - Crispy, Popcorn Chicken, Fish Fillet and French Toastix. Arby’s cooks with zero grams trans fat corn oil.

Also, soybean oil is a refined oil, and is not indicated as an allergen ingredient. Please consult your doctor to know if you should avoid products that contain refined soybean oil.

The above is from another page and isn't really clear to me if the oils are used in any cooking besides the deep frying.

I don't even know what I'd do if I could drive thru for a meal again, or at least a partial meal.

TIA,

Well, you would have to eat it without the bun, because their buns have dairy and wheat in them....

That's pretty cool that they have an allergy chart though.

x- contamination all over the place would be my worry - and employees that truly may not know enough about allergies to be careful ( e.g making a burger, then taking the bun off leaving crumbs in the meat etc.)

sorry

I know I couldn't have the bun. And we are not so severe that I would be that fearful of cross contamination. Way back when I have actually gotten just beef from them through the drive thru, before I knew about all the hidden sources of allergens. Like I don't think you can get chicken anywhere that doens't have wheat/gluten on it for some strange reason. I specifically asked for meat that had never been on the bun. So yeah there could be minor cross-contamination but I think we could handle that. My biggest concern is corn.

Noodles has a similar chart you can see in their restaurant and theirs includes corn and other stuff, really complete. I misread their chart and had been eating their braised beef w/rice noodes and steamed veggies and their balsamic vinegrette SALAD dressing. Then one day I asked to see their chart again and saw that the braised beef has corn. But never noticed a problem w/it so still eat there w/that being my only entree option (don't want to go vegetarian).

hmmm...that's a tough one then!

I'm still too afraid to eat out, so I'm a little bias. You are making me crave a hamburger right now though!
