Which allergen is listed for the Sushi and Salad dish?

• A. Dairy
• B. Shellfish
• C. Peanuts
• D. Tree Nuts

Answer: (B)

Allergen labeling reflects what is actually in the dish. If the Sushi and Salad includes shellfish—such as shrimp or crab in the topping, topping sauce, or garnish—the menu lists shellfish so guests with shellfish allergies can avoid it. Shellfish is treated as a separate category from fish, dairy, peanuts, or tree nuts, so its presence would trigger a shellfish allergen notice even if fish is also involved in the dish. If dairy, peanuts, or tree nuts were used, those allergens would be listed instead or in addition. In short, the dish contains shellfish ingredients, which is why shellfish is the listed allergen.
