The CHEF TIPS:

  • Contains fish (tilapia), eggs (mayonnaise), and wheat (breadcrumbs). Breadcrumbs can be a hidden source of common allergens, which include milk, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, and sesame.
  • Sesame can appear as an ingredient in food where it might not be expected (breadcrumbs) and may be included in the ingredients statements as “spice” or “flavoring.”
  • Can use pollock, catfish, grouper, haddock, cod, halibut, rockfish, sole, or bass instead of tilapia.
  • Can substitute Italian seasoning (dried) for Herbs de Provence.
