Schnitz Allergen Menu Australia — The Full Published Matrix
All 74 components Schnitz declares allergens for, laid out layer by layer: protein, crumb, roll, filling, sauce. Reproduced from the official Schnitz allergen document.
Most allergen pages for Australian chains give you a single row per menu item and leave you guessing. Schnitz publishes something better than that, and almost nobody reproduces it properly: allergens are declared per component. The chicken breast is one thing, the crumb on it is another, the roll is a third, and the sauce is a fourth.
That distinction matters enormously. The chicken and beef proteins on their own declare no allergens at all. Everything you are reacting to comes from what is put on them. So to work out what is in your order, you stack the layers: protein + crumb + roll or wrap + filling + any sauce or dip. The tables below are laid out in exactly that order.
How to read this: build your order in layers
A worked example. You order a Parma burger on a Turkish roll with aioli.
| Layer | Component | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Protein | Chicken schnitzel | Nothing declared |
| 2. Crumb | Traditional crumb | Wheat, milk, egg, soy, peanut, tree nut, sesame, fish |
| 3. Roll | Turkish roll | Wheat, milk, egg, soy |
| 4. Topping | Napoli sauce and three cheeses | Milk, egg |
| 5. Sauce | Aioli | Milk, egg |
This is why a plate listing shows eleven categories while its protein shows none. The plate figure is the fully assembled dish including chips, seasoning and sauce. If you change the crumb, the roll or the sauce, you change the answer.

Gluten free and gluten friendly at Schnitz
Two things are worth separating here, because Schnitz uses both terms and they do not mean the same thing.
The Gluten Free wrap is the only item on the entire published matrix with no allergens declared against it at all. That is the genuine gluten free component.
Corn Crunch is described as a gluten friendly breader, but the published matrix still declares wheat against it, along with egg, milk, soy, peanut, tree nut, sesame and fish. ‘Gluten friendly’ is a preference-level claim, not a coeliac-safe one.
Combining the two — a Gluten Free wrap with a Corn Crunch schnitzel — still leaves wheat in the order. For coeliac disease rather than a preference, talk to the store about what they can actually prepare and how.
Vegetarian, vegan and other dietary notes
Vegetarian is straightforward: the veggie patty replaces the protein on most items, and salads can be ordered without schnitzel.
Vegan is much harder than it looks. The veggie patty itself declares milk and egg. So do the crumbs. So do almost all the sauces — aioli, every mayonnaise, Signature Sauce, ranch and Napoli all declare egg, milk or both. The realistic vegan order is a salad with no schnitzel, no cheese and no dressing, confirmed with the store.
Halal is not a brand-wide certification. Several Victorian stores are listed by halal directories as serving halal chicken, but that is a directory entry rather than a certificate from Schnitz. Ask the specific store.
Schnitz allergen FAQ
What is on the Schnitz menu in Australia in 2026?
The Schnitz menu is built around one thing: a crumbed chicken schnitzel, served several ways. The core ranges are Wraps & Burgers (twelve builds, from the plain Basic Instinct to the loaded OMG!), Plates (schnitzel, Parma, Ham Parma, Hawaiian Parma and Loaded Schnitzel, with or without chips and a side salad), Tom's Signature Tenders (buttermilk-breadered tenderloins in 3, 5 and 10 packs plus Tender Boxes), Schnacks (mini versions of the popular wraps, Schnuggets, the Nosh Box and the Schnitz Stick), Fresh Salads, chips, dips, kids packs, drinks, and a dessert range of loaded cookies, brownies, skillets and ice cream.
You can also change the protein on most items — chicken, beef or a veggie patty — and change the crumb. Both of those swaps change the allergen picture, not just the taste.
How much does Schnitz cost in Australia?
Expect roughly $10.90 to $16.90 for a wrap or burger in store, $13.50 to $17.90 for a plate, and $4.50 to $9.90 for chips depending on size. Salads with schnitzel sit around $15.50, kids packs around $9.50–$10.50, and dips are about $1.10 each.
The number that surprises people is the delivery gap. The same Basic Instinct that is about $10.90 in store is listed near $14.70 on delivery menus, and a Loaded Schnitzel & Chips moves from roughly $17.90 to about $23.00. That is a 25–35% uplift before the delivery and service fees are added. All figures are approximate and vary by store.
Does Schnitz have a gluten free menu?
Not a gluten free menu, but there are gluten friendly choices. Schnitz lists a Gluten Free wrap with no allergens declared against it, and a Corn Crunch breader described as gluten friendly — though Corn Crunch still declares wheat, along with egg, milk, soy, peanut, tree nut, sesame and fish, in the February 2026 allergen document.
Schnitz states plainly that it cannot guarantee completely allergen free meals because of trace allergens in the working environment. If you have coeliac disease rather than a preference, speak to the store directly before ordering.
What allergens are in a Schnitz schnitzel?
It depends on how the schnitzel is built, and that is the part most guides get wrong. The chicken and beef proteins on their own carry no declared allergens. The allergens come from the crumb: the Traditional crumb, Spicy crumb and Corn Crunch each declare wheat, egg, milk, soy, peanut, tree nut, sesame and fish.
The roll or wrap then adds wheat, egg, milk and soy, and the fillings and sauces add more on top. A finished Parma plate declares eleven allergen categories. Our Schnitz allergen guide sets out the full published matrix layer by layer.
What is the healthiest item at Schnitz?
By published energy, the lightest things on the menu are the side salads: the Garden Salad side at 345 kJ (82 Cal) and the Mediterranean Salad side at 371 kJ (89 Cal). Among proper meals, a plain schnitzel on its own is 1,400 kJ (335 Cal) and a 3 Pack of Signature Tenders is 2,520 kJ (602 Cal).
The lightest full handheld is Basic Instinct as a wrap, 2,620 kJ (626 Cal). Choosing the wrap over the burger saves roughly 170 kJ every time, because the roll carries more than the tortilla. Swapping chips for a side salad is the single biggest saving available on a plate.
How many calories are in a Schnitz classic schnitzel?
A traditional crumb chicken schnitzel on its own is 1,400 kJ, about 335 Cal. Add small original chips and Schnitzel & Chips comes to 3,260 kJ, about 779 Cal. Add a side salad as well and it is 3,610 kJ, about 863 Cal.
Turning it into a Parma pushes it to 3,710 kJ (about 887 Cal) with chips, and Loaded Schnitzel & Chips reaches 3,990 kJ, roughly 953 Cal. The kilojoule figures are published by Schnitz; the Calorie values are converted at 4.184 kJ per Cal.
Does Schnitz have a kids menu?
Yes — the kids range is called Little Rascals. The Teeny-Weeny Pack is a mini wrap or slider with crumbed chicken, tasty cheese and tomato sauce, plus mini chips and a Pop Top, at 2,960 kJ and roughly $10.50 in store. The Kiddy Schnugget Pack swaps in four Schnuggets and comes to 2,540 kJ. There is also an Itty-Bitty Pack at around $9.50.
Worth knowing: both published kids packs declare the full set of eleven allergen categories, so they are not a safe default for a child with allergies. Check the build with the store.
What are Schnitz opening hours in Australia?
Hours are set per store, not nationally, and shopping centre stores follow centre trading hours rather than their own. As a general pattern, high street stores commonly run from late morning until around 9pm, while centre stores open and close with the centre.
Because a public holiday, a centre late-night or a new store can change that within a week, we do not publish a single hours table — it would be wrong somewhere the day it was written. Use the store finder on the official Schnitz site, or the store's listing on Uber Eats, which shows live open and closed status.
Can I order Schnitz on Uber Eats, DoorDash or Menulog?
Uber Eats only. Schnitz states that delivery is now exclusively on Uber Eats, ordered either through the Uber Eats app or through the Schnitz app. It is no longer on DoorDash or Menulog, so listings you find on those platforms are out of date.
Remember the pricing point above: delivery menu prices run roughly 25–35% above in-store prices before the delivery and service fees are added. Ordering pickup direct through Schnitz is consistently the cheaper way to buy the same food.
Is Schnitz halal certified in Australia?
Schnitz does not publish a national halal certification for the brand. What exists is store level: several Victorian stores, including Craigieburn Central, Truganina, Point Cook and Dandenong, are listed by halal restaurant directories as serving halal chicken.
A directory listing is not a certificate from Schnitz. If halal matters to you, ask the specific store which supplier and certification their chicken carries, rather than relying on a directory or on this page.
Does Schnitz have vegan options?
Vegetarian, yes. Fully vegan, effectively no. Schnitz offers a veggie patty as a protein swap on most items, and salads can be ordered without schnitzel. But the veggie patty itself declares milk and egg among its allergens, and the crumbs declare egg and milk too.
Most of the sauces — aioli, the mayonnaises, Signature Sauce, ranch, Napoli — declare egg, milk or both. A vegan diner is realistically looking at a salad with no schnitzel, no dressing and no cheese, and should confirm the build with the store.
What is the cheapest item on the Schnitz menu?
The Schnitz Stick at around $3.50 in store is the cheapest thing you can buy, followed by the Nosh Box at about $5.00 and small original chips at about $4.50. Dips are $1.10.
For a full meal, the cheapest route is Basic Instinct at about $10.90, or Schnitzel & Chips at about $13.50 if you want the plate. On delivery menus those same items are listed nearer $14.70 and $18.00.
Does Schnitz have a loyalty or rewards app?
Yes. The Schnitz membership programme is called Crumb Collective, and it runs through the Schnitz app and website. Members get member-only deals — one current example is a free gravy with Family Original Chips. The specific offers rotate, so we do not reproduce a rewards table here that would be stale within weeks.
The dependable saving is not the offers anyway — it is the channel. Ordering pickup direct rather than through Uber Eats avoids the 25–35% menu uplift, which is larger than most member deals.
How do I find the nearest Schnitz to me?
Use the store locator on the official Schnitz website, which lists stores by suburb with address and trading hours. Typing your suburb into Uber Eats or Google Maps works too, and has the advantage of showing whether the store is open right now.
Schnitz is concentrated in Victoria and New South Wales, with stores in Queensland, the ACT, South Australia and Western Australia as well. Coverage is strongest in metropolitan shopping centres.
Does Schnitz change its menu seasonally?
Yes. The core schnitzel, Parma and burger line-up is stable year to year, but Schnitz regularly adds limited-time items and rotates the dessert range — the loaded cookie, skillet and brownie flavours in particular change several times a year. Tom's Signature Tenders is itself a comparatively recent addition to the permanent menu.
Prices move too. We re-check this guide against the official menu and current price listings each month, and stamp the review date at the top of every page so you can see how fresh the figures are.
