Options for Guests with Food Allergies

The popcorn at Disney, including the Canada Pavilion, is generally regarded as safe for many guests with food allergies, especially compared to other snack options. Here is a breakdown of potential allergens and what guests can expect:

1. Gluten-Free:

• The traditional buttered popcorn is naturally gluten-free. Disney is known for labeling items with gluten ingredients, and the popcorn typically does not contain any.
• However, always double-check with cast members in case of cross-contamination concerns.

1. Dairy-Free:

• Traditional Popcorn: While the butter flavoring contains dairy, Disney often offers dairy-free popcorn upon request. Maple popcorn (if available) may also be dairy-free, but it’s best to confirm with staff.
• Allergy-Friendly Butters: Some carts may offer dairy-free butter alternatives or oils.

1. Nut-Free:

• The popcorn is generally nut-free and safe for those with tree nut or peanut allergies. However, guests should always inquire about potential cross-contamination with other nearby snacks.

1. Soy-Free:

• Traditional Popcorn: Often contains soybean oil, but some locations may provide an alternative option. If soy is a concern, checking the ingredients or speaking with the staff is recommended.

1. Egg-Free:

• Popcorn, in general, is egg-free, making it a great option for those with egg allergies.

Overall, the popcorn cart in the Canada Pavilion offers a delicious, simple snack experience, with options that can cater to various food allergies. The maple popcorn is especially a hit for those seeking a unique, regional flavor!
