Hi! Thought I should post about this item on their menu. I ate it and then six hours later (I have delayed reactions) my throat was swelling up. After taking apis (a homeopathic remedy for bee stings and swelling) and also putting colloidal silver liquid on swollen parts of throat, the swelling subsided enough so that I did not rush to hospital. Later that day, I got on line and decided that the food I had eaten at this restaurant might be to blame. Lo and behold, at a site that listed the ingredients of their menu, under Brocolli Beef was listed "shellfish". So, for some reason only known to the corporate people at this company, they are liberally sprinkling shellfish powder all over their brocolli beef. Insane! I will never go to their restaurant again. Have been avoiding shellfish (and all fish, and all sea food restaurants) for years. And by doing this, had avoided any ige reaction to food. Hence, my not having an up to date epipen to use! Will now get my prescription updated and then filled!


Thanks for the note arwenevens!
This is a great example of how diligent people with food allergies must be when dining out, even in what appears to be safe establishments.
Panda Express has on its Web site a PDF document listing which of the 8 Major Food Allergens are present in each of their menu items.
According to the document, shellfish is present in the Broccoli Beef along with wheat, soy and egg. I don't know how prominent this information is at the restaurant, but if you have food allergies, ask if they have one of these document. Otherwise, call ahead and ask if they can accomodate your specific food allergies.
There are some great tips on this site about dining out with food allergies. I suggest everyone take a read before eating out!
