This
list is intended for general informational use and should not be relied upon as
a definitive statement of ingredients in vendors’ food and beverage items at
the Iowa State Fair. Each vendor is solely responsible for its own food safety
practices, ingredient disclosures, and allergen protocols, and the Iowa State
Fair relies on vendors’ representations when producing this list. Any
individual with food allergies or dietary restrictions is strongly encouraged
to exercise caution and consult directly with individual vendors regarding
specific ingredients and preparation practices. The State Fair makes no
guarantee that any vendor item is free from allergens, and consumption of
vendor items at the Iowa State Fair means you acknowledge and accept this risk.
