Allergen Information

The 2 Cauli Sliders with Fries combo at Dave’s Hot Chicken may contain the following allergens:

Soy is used in frying oil and some seasoning blends
Milk may be present in sauces, slaw, or buns (depends on location)

🥬 Vegetarian, not vegan: the cauliflower itself is plant-based, but the batter, buns, and default sauces often contain milk or egg. Strict vegans should ask about a vegan-friendly modification before ordering.

🛢️ Frying oil: cauli items are cooked in the same shared fryers as chicken items, so cross-contact is possible even though the tenders themselves are meat-free.
