KFC Nutrition & Allergen Menu (USA)
Calories for popular KFC items and a simple guide to finding official allergen information before you order.
⚠️ Allergy safety first: recipes and suppliers change. Always check KFC’s official, current Nutrition & Allergen Guide (on KFC.com and in the app) or ask restaurant staff before ordering. All KFC food is prepared in shared kitchens and fryers, so cross-contact is possible.

How to Use the KFC Allergen Menu
- Open the Nutrition section on KFC.com or in the KFC app.
- Download the US Nutrition & Allergen Guide (PDF). It lists each item against the major allergens: milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy and sesame.
- Check sauces, gravy and biscuits separately — they often contain allergens that the chicken alone may not.
- Tell staff about your allergy when ordering.
Lower-Calorie Choices
- Choose an Original Recipe drumstick or thigh instead of an Extra Crispy breast.
- Swap fries or mac & cheese for green beans or corn.
- Pick a 2–3 piece tenders meal with a light sauce rather than a Famous Bowl.
- Order unsweetened iced tea or water instead of soda.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find the KFC allergen menu?
On KFC.com and in the KFC app under Nutrition, where you can download the latest Nutrition & Allergen Guide PDF.
How many calories are in a Famous Bowl?
About 740 calories.
Is KFC gluten-free?
KFC’s breaded chicken contains wheat, and shared fryers are used, so KFC is not a safe choice for people with celiac disease. Check the official guide for individual sides.
