Note (October 2026): The item tables on this page were copied in May 2023 without column headings and list the same seven allergens for every item, so they do not show which allergens any dish contains. The Cheesecake Factory’s current Online Allergen Guide covers 10 allergens, including fish, gluten and sesame, and is the source to check before ordering.
The Cheesecake Factory allergen menu is an Online Allergen Guide on the restaurant’s Allergy page. Diners select the allergens they want to avoid from 10 options (eggs, fish, gluten, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat) and see matching menu items. The restaurant says it cannot guarantee any item is allergen-free, so guests should also tell their server.

Allergen Menu of Cheesecake Factory
The Cheesecake Factory’s Online Allergen Guide opens with a notice for guests who choose from its menus based on allergen information. In summary, the restaurant says:
The restaurant says it prepared the guide to assist guests with food sensitivities or allergies.
The Cheesecake Factory says it uses reasonable efforts in sourcing, preparation and handling to keep the named allergens out of these menu choices, but it cannot guarantee that any menu item will be free of any allergen.
Menu items are handcrafted in the restaurants, which the company says are not allergen-free environments.
Items may be prepared using shared equipment, including common fryers, so cross-contact with allergens may occur.
The restaurant relies on supplier ingredient labels, which it says may not be accurate and may carry unregulated advisory statements such as “may contain.”
The company says it does not take those unregulated statements into consideration when developing allergy-friendly meals.
The restaurant asks guests to tell their server about any food allergy and to contact its Guest Services Department before dining if they have questions about the menu.

How to Use The Cheesecake Factory Online Allergen Guide
The Cheesecake Factory Online Allergen Guide is the restaurant’s official allergen menu. As of October 2026, it is embedded on the Allergy page of the company’s website and runs on the Nutritionix menu platform. The steps below describe how the guide works.
- Open the Allergy page on The Cheesecake Factory’s website.
- Select the allergens to avoid. The guide offers 10 filters: eggs, fish, gluten, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat. More than one can be selected.
- Agree to the allergen notice. The guide asks users to accept its allergen notice before showing results.
- Review the matching items and note any that need changes, such as leaving off a sauce or side.
- Confirm with the server. The restaurant asks guests to tell their server about a food allergy, because kitchen practices and ingredients can change.
Some items in the tables above carry location tags such as (HI), (PR) and (TX & OK), a reminder that menus differ between restaurants. Checking the guide on the day of the visit is safer than relying on any saved copy.
Which Allergens Does The Cheesecake Factory Track?
The Cheesecake Factory’s Online Allergen Guide tracks 10 allergens, one more than the nine major food allergens recognized by the FDA, because it lists gluten and wheat separately. The table compares the official guide with the older tables on this page.
| Allergen | In the official Online Allergen Guide (October 2026) | FDA major food allergen | Named in this page’s 2023 tables |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eggs | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Fish | Yes | Yes | No |
| Gluten | Yes | No (wheat is the listed allergen) | No |
| Milk | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Peanuts | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Sesame | Yes | Yes (since January 1, 2023) | No |
| Shellfish | Yes | Yes (crustacean shellfish) | Yes |
| Soy | Yes | Yes (soybeans) | Yes |
| Tree nuts | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Wheat | Yes | Yes | Yes |
What Are the Nine Major Food Allergens in the US?
The nine major food allergens in the United States are milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame, according to the FDA. The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA) named the first eight. The FASTER Act, signed on April 23, 2021, added sesame as the ninth, effective January 1, 2023.
The FDA also notes that FALCPA’s labeling requirements do not apply to food placed in a wrapper or container after a customer orders it at the point of purchase. Restaurant meals therefore do not carry the allergen labels found on packaged food, which is why restaurant allergen guides and direct questions to staff matter.
How to Order Safely at The Cheesecake Factory With a Food Allergy
- Check the guide before the visit and shortlist several suitable dishes, since the menu is long.
- Tell the server at the start, name every allergy and ask for it to be passed to the kitchen.
- Ask about fried food. The restaurant says common fryers may be shared, so fries and other fried items can carry cross-contact risk.
- Ask about sauces, dressings and toppings, which are a common hidden source of allergens in any restaurant dish.
- Re-check on every visit, because recipes, suppliers and regional menus change.
- Carry prescribed emergency medication if a doctor has prescribed it.
If a reaction starts, the FDA advises stopping eating the food immediately, evaluating the need for emergency medication such as epinephrine and seeking medical attention. This page is general information, not medical advice; an allergist can give individual guidance.
