Panda Express Gluten-Free Menu & Allergy Safe Guide

What makes Orange Chicken contain gluten?

Orange Chicken incorporates wheat elements in two facets: First, the raw chicken chunks are thick-coated in flour batter before deep-frying to generate their signature crisp structure. Second, the sweet orange syrup relies on a soy sauce reduction, which utilizes brewed wheat kernels. This combination makes it rich in high-molecular gluten particles.

How to order safe if you have mild gluten sensitivity

If your body tolerates minor traces of cross-contact but you want to dodge high-exposure wheat:

• Choose White Steamed Jasmine Rice or Brown Steamed Rice instead of Noodles. Chow noodles represent pure wheat starch.
• Consult with the local restaurant manager to request a scoop of rice directly from a fresh, brand-new cooker tray using a clean dedicated spoon.
• Bypass deep-fried entrees entirely since batter oils can saturate gluten particles into otherwise naturally wheat-free proteins.
