Allergens in Burger King kids meals
First, the Hamburger and Cheeseburger buns contain wheat, soy and sesame. In addition, the Cheeseburger contains milk. Chicken Nuggets list wheat, and Mott's Applesauce and the apple juice drink list none of the major allergens.
However, fried items share oil and kitchen equipment with other foods. If your child has a food allergy, check the full Burger King allergen menu and confirm with the restaurant team before ordering.
Tips for ordering for kids
- Ask for plain: a Hamburger can be made with just ketchup or no sauce at all.
- Swap the side: applesauce instead of fries saves about 180 calories.
- Order nuggets for sharing: a 10-piece order split between two kids can cost less than two meals.
- Use the app: you can customize every part of the meal and avoid mistakes at a busy drive-thru.
