Chipotle Allergen Menu and Ingredients

Ingredients rather than finished dishes are the unit here, because a burrito holds whatever you asked for. The Chipotle allergen menu therefore works ingredient by ingredient, so you can read down the line and add up your own build. Four allergens appear across the whole list.

Wheat, corn, soy and milk carry every declaration on the list. Egg, fish, shellfish, peanuts and tree nuts are declared on nothing at all. Chipotle publishes its declarations ingredient by ingredient, so a build can be checked for allergens in one pass.

Chipotle Allergen Menu Item by Item

The Chipotle line builds every order from parts, so the parts are what you read. A chicken bowl carries whatever its rice, beans, salsa, cheese and sour cream carry, and nothing more. Swap the tortilla in and wheat arrives with it. Leave the cheese and sour cream out and milk leaves with them.

The Contains column names what an ingredient declares outright, nothing more. Chipotle staff work from shared pans during service, and that column says nothing about what an ingredient might pick up there. Anyone ordering around a severe allergy should say so at the counter and ask for a glove change.

Chipotle Base, Tortilla and Chip Allergens

Flour Tortillas put wheat on the list on their own, and nothing else in this group joins them there. Corn appears instead across the chip range and the corn tortilla, flagged as a declaration rather than a trace. Bowl and salad bases declare nothing, so a bowl build starts clear of all four.

Chipotle Protein Allergens

Chicken, Steak, Carne Asada, Barbacoa and Carnitas declare nothing at all, which makes the protein row the easiest part of a build to clear. Sofritas breaks the pattern with soy, since braised tofu sits at its base. Plant-Based Chorizo declares nothing despite what its name suggests.

Chipotle Rice, Bean and Vegetable Allergens

Rice and beans declare nothing across all four options. Both rices land on the same 210, and the two beans match each other at 130. Fajita Vegetables and Romaine Lettuce close the group out in single and double figures. Nothing in this group adds an allergen to a build.

Chipotle Salsa and Guacamole Allergens

Three of the four salsas declare nothing, from the mild Fresh Tomato through both tomatillos. Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa carries corn, the one declaration in the group. Guacamole joins the salsas in declaring nothing.

Chipotle Cheese, Sour Cream and Queso Allergens

Milk arrives here, and in this concentration nowhere else. Cheese, Queso Blanco and Sour Cream each declare it. Leaving all three off a build removes milk from it entirely.

Chipotle Dressing and Dip Allergens

Vinaigrette declares nothing, so it adds no allergen to a build. Adobo Ranch, new for 2026, declares milk. Both get added at the end of a build rather than inside it.

Dairy-Free Options at Chipotle

The Chipotle allergen menu clears milk from thirty-one of the thirty-six items on the board. Chipotle clears milk from nearly every protein, including Chicken, Steak, Carne Asada, Barbacoa, Carnitas and Sofritas. Plant-Based Chorizo carries no milk. Smoked Brisket, Chicken Al Pastor and Honey Chicken stay dairy-free as well.

Rice, beans, all four salsas, guacamole, fajita vegetables and romaine contain no milk either. The chip range and the corn tortilla round out a long dairy-free list. Milk turns up only on cheese, queso blanco, sour cream, the adobo ranch dip and chips with queso blanco.

Ordering Gluten-Free at Chipotle

Wheat at Chipotle appears in exactly one place: the flour tortilla. Every protein, all rice and beans, and all four salsas stay wheat-free. Guacamole, fajita vegetables, romaine and the chip range contain no wheat either. The Chipotle allergen menu marks that tortilla as the only source of wheat anywhere on the board.

The corn tortilla replaces the flour tortilla for anyone avoiding gluten. Bowls and salads sidestep the issue. Neither one uses a tortilla. Chicken, Steak, Carne Asada, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Sofritas, Plant-Based Chorizo, Smoked Brisket, Chicken Al Pastor and Honey Chicken all qualify.

Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Chipotle

Chipotle builds every order down one open line where the same utensils move between bins. Cheese and sour cream sit within inches of the salsas, and a spoon that touches one can touch the next. The Chipotle allergen menu describes ingredients as served, not the line they cross.

Flour and corn tortillas warm on the same surface, and the tongs that lift one will often lift the other during a busy rush. Staff can change gloves and open a fresh bin on request, which is the only real protection the line offers. No assembly line can promise a bowl free of all contact with an allergen. Reading the Chipotle allergen menu row by row remains the surest way to check a build.
