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.
