Quick answer: on the Chipotle UK allergen chart only three of the 14 allergens appear: gluten (flour tortillas), milk (cheese, sour cream, queso blanco) and soya (sofritas). Rice, beans, all meats, salsas, guacamole, chips and crispy corn shells contain none of the 14.

Allergens in common orders
Because every order is built from the chart above, the allergens of a burrito, bowl or salad follow from what goes into it. With the standard fillings — rice, beans, protein, salsa and cheese — these are the allergens you get:

Gluten and coeliac disease
Gluten at Chipotle UK comes only from the flour tortillas — the burrito wrap, the soft taco tortillas, the quesadilla and the tortilla on the side. A bowl, a salad or tacos in crispy corn shells (where the restaurant offers them) have no gluten ingredients. Chipotle warns that its kitchens are open-plan with allergens present, so for coeliac disease tell the team before ordering and ask for fresh gloves.
Milk and vegan options
Milk is in three toppings: the Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream and queso blanco. Leave those out and the order is milk-free. For a vegan meal, choose sofritas or the Veggie option (which includes guacamole at no extra cost); pinto beans, fajita vegetables, the salsas, guacamole, tortillas and chips are marked VG on the UK delivery menu. Ready-made options are the Plant-Powered Bowl and the Go-To Vegan Burrito, both £13.50 on Uber Eats.
Cross-contact
Chipotle's UK chart states that food is prepared in open-plan kitchens where multiple allergens are present and that no item can be guaranteed free from specific allergens. For a severe allergy, order in person rather than through a delivery app, so you can speak to the team and watch your food being made.

Frequently asked questions
What allergens are in Chipotle UK food?
Three of the 14: cereals containing gluten (flour tortillas for burritos, tacos and quesadillas), milk (Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, queso blanco) and soya (sofritas).
Is Chipotle gluten free in the UK?
Everything except the flour tortillas is free from gluten on Chipotle's UK chart. Order a bowl, a salad or crispy corn tacos instead of a burrito.
Is Chipotle guacamole vegan?
Yes — on the UK menu it is marked VG, and it contains none of the 14 allergens.
Is Chipotle safe for a nut allergy?
Nuts and peanuts are not marked on any ingredient in the UK chart. Chipotle notes that food is prepared in open kitchens where allergens are present, so it cannot guarantee any item is free from them.
What is vegan at Chipotle UK?
On the Uber Eats menu sofritas carry the plant symbol and pinto beans, fajita vegetables, all salsas, guacamole, the tortilla and the chips are marked VG. Cheese, sour cream, queso and the meats are not vegan.
Does the Chipotle vinaigrette contain allergens?
Not any of the 14 on the UK chart. It does contain honey, so it is not vegan.
