Product Why It’s Not Safe

The allergen statement confirms wheat, making them unsafe for gluten-sensitive consumers. Despite the presence of eggs, cross-ingredients disqualify them from being gluten free.
IHOP Omelets with Pancake Batter IHOP adds pancake batter (containing wheat flour) to their omelets for fluffiness. This makes the omelets not gluten free, even though they are primarily egg-based. The restaurant allergen disclosure confirms wheat, making them unsafe for celiac patients or gluten-free consumers.
Egg McMuffin (McDonald’s) McDonald’s Egg McMuffin is not gluten free because the sandwich includes an English muffin made with wheat flour. Allergen labeling confirms wheat.

This makes them unsafe for gluten-sensitive individuals or celiac patients, even though eggs themselves are gluten free.
