Bob Evans' own allergen guide says in one line that the oil used for both grilling and deep frying is soybean, which at a diner covers the griddle, the fryer and nearly everything hot that comes off them - their soy column is ticked on 131 of 202 menu rows. They publish no ingredient statements at all, so additives could not be scored.
Rated from Bob Evans' own Menu Allergens guide (Allergens_Spring_FY2027.pdf, 257,363 bytes, 5 pages, linked from bobevans.com/nutrition), read 2026-08-25. The whole rating rests on one published line, quoted verbatim: "Oil used for grilling & deep frying consists of soybeans. Although soybean oil is technically not an allergen, due to varying sensitivities, Bob Evans has chosen to include items that are cooked in and/or contain soybean oil." At a diner that is the griddle and the fryer, so the hotcakes, the eggs, the hash browns, the burgers, the fries and the hand-breaded chicken all go through it. Their own soy column, which they say includes soybean-oil items, is ticked on 131 of 202 menu rows. Additives and how processed the food is could NOT be scored and are left blank on purpose: Bob Evans publishes nutrition and allergens only, with no ingredient statements anywhere on the site.
