The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently revised its tree nut allergy classifications, removing certain ingredients from the major allergen list. In response to this regulatory update, Disney-owned restaurants have adjusted their allergy-friendly menu designations to reflect these new guidelines. Foods containing previously restricted ingredients may now appear on dishes marked as safe for guests with allergies. Information regarding these dietary accommodations is available through the My Disney Experience app and printed menus at various locations. Sunshine Seasons in EPCOT has implemented a dedicated ordering window specifically designed to assist guests with special dietary needs and allergy concerns. While physical menus are accessible at all registers, guests must still consult with culinary Cast Members to finalize their allergy-friendly orders. This change aims to provide clearer guidance for visitors managing food allergies while dining across Disney properties.
