Allergens — Sesame Worth Noting
Contains:
Wheat, Soy, Sesame
Does NOT contain:
Eggs, Milk, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Shellfish, Fish
The sesame allergen is worth flagging for diners with sesame sensitivity. It is not always obvious from the dish description — sesame oil or sesame-containing sauces are used in the preparation. Sesame allergy is increasingly recognized as a major allergen; as of 2023, sesame is included in the US top-9 allergen list.
The 9g Protein Error — Corrected
What tracking apps get wrong about Broccoli Beef
Protein listed as 9g — old data from a previous nutrition formulation. Multiple major tracking apps still show this figure for Broccoli Beef. Current official value: 15g protein.
Correct current data: 150 calories, 15g protein, 6g fat, 12g carbs, 520mg sodium, 2g fiber.
The 9g figure was valid for a prior formulation. The recipe was updated and the protein count increased significantly — making Broccoli Beef one of the bigger improvements to the Panda Express menu from a nutrition standpoint. Anyone tracking based on the old 9g entry is missing 6g of protein per serving from their log.
