Five Guys Allergen Menu and Ingredients

The Five Guys allergen menu tracks nine federally recognized allergens across 69 components in eleven groups. Five Guys sells build-your-own burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches, so its own guide lists ingredients rather than finished sandwiches. Reading the item-by-item tables below is the fastest way to check one bun, topping or sauce at a time.

Each row carries the allergens Five Guys declares for that component. A blank declaration is not an all-clear. Cross-contact risk runs across the whole kitchen, whatever a single row says.

Five Guys Allergen Menu Item by Item

Every component below keeps the exact wording the Five Guys allergen menu uses for that row. Nine federally recognized allergens appear across the page, led by milk from cheese, shake bases, whipped cream and the bun options. Five Guys keeps pricing on a separate page rather than mixing it into this allergen-only grid.

Meat at Five Guys

Five of the seven meat components at Five Guys declare nothing at all. That covers every bacon option plus the Mini Patty and Hamburger Patty. Hot Dog (Supplier H) carries a definite soy declaration, and Hot Dog (Supplier K) carries that same soy only as a may-contain note. Nothing else appears on this list.

Bun at Five Guys

All three bun options carry the identical declaration: eggs, milk, soy and wheat, plus a sesame may-contain note. All three share that profile.

Fries at Five Guys

All eight fry options declare nothing on the grid, Five Guys Style and Cajun Style alike. Fries cook exclusively in refined peanut oil. Five Guys classifies that refined oil as carrying no peanut allergen once processed, a distinction its own guide draws. Whole peanuts are a separate matter.

Toppings at Five Guys

Sixteen of the nineteen toppings declare nothing, covering lettuce, tomatoes, onions and hot sauce alike. Both mayonnaise suppliers carry eggs, and all three cheese options carry milk. Cheese (Supplier K) adds a soy may-contain note the other two cheeses skip.

Milkshakes at Five Guys

Vanilla Shake Base and both whipped cream suppliers all carry milk, the only allergen declared in this group. Nothing else appears on any of the three.

Mini Milkshakes at Five Guys

Mini Vanilla Shake Base and its two whipped cream suppliers repeat the same milk-only declaration as the full-size shakes. The smaller serving changes nothing.

Mix-Ins at Five Guys

Eight of the eleven mix-ins declare nothing, from Blackberry Sauce through Strawberry. Peanut Butter carries a definite peanuts declaration. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup carries the widest list of all: milk, peanuts and soy outright, plus tree nuts and wheat as may-contain notes. Oreo Creme and Oreo Cookie Pieces both add soy, with the cookie pieces also carrying wheat.

Drinks at Five Guys

Chocolate Milk and Low Fat Milk both carry milk, the only allergen declared across the four drinks. Apple Juice and Orange Juice Blend both declare nothing.

Sauces at Five Guys

Cheese Sauce carries milk, and Five Guys Sauce carries eggs. Neither shares an allergen with the other.

Peanuts at Five Guys

Bulk Peanuts and Cajun Peanuts both carry a definite peanuts declaration, unlike the fry oil. The Five Guys allergen menu marks both clearly. Five Guys serves peanuts in all of its restaurants, with shelled peanuts sitting out near the entrance. Whole peanuts and refined fry oil sit in different categories on the grid.

Other Items at Five Guys

Fry Sauce Bulk and Fry Sauce PC both carry eggs. Milk shows up as a definite declaration on the PC size and only a may-contain note on the bulk size. Malt Vinegar carries wheat, and Eggs (2) carries eggs by name. Liquid Butter Flavored Oil, Chives Seasoning and Lemons all declare nothing.

Dairy-Free Options at Five Guys

Forty-nine of the 69 components on the Five Guys allergen menu list no milk at all. Every meat option qualifies, all seven of them, alongside all eight fry options and both peanut items. Sixteen of the nineteen toppings clear milk too, including lettuce, tomatoes, onions and both mayonnaise suppliers.

Mix-ins split close to even: eight of eleven carry no milk, among them Peanut Butter, Blackberry Sauce and both Oreo mix-ins. Apple Juice, Orange Juice Blend and Five Guys Sauce round out the milk-free list from their own groups.

Every bun, both milkshake bases and all four whipped cream suppliers carry milk without exception. A bunned burger or any shake cannot clear milk as built, so the milk-free components above are the steadier route for a dairy-free order.

Ordering Gluten-Free at Five Guys

Sixty-three of the 69 components on the Five Guys allergen menu list no wheat, the largest share of any allergen tracked here. Every meat, every fry option and all nineteen toppings clear wheat entirely, along with both peanut items and every drink.

Five components carry wheat outright: the three bun options, Oreo Cookie Pieces and Malt Vinegar. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup adds a sixth, but only as a may-contain note. All three bun options carry wheat, so no bun on this list clears it, whichever burger or hot dog it wraps.

Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Five Guys

Five Guys makes every order by hand in a kitchen built on shared equipment. The Five Guys allergen menu is explicit that cross-contact risk runs across the whole kitchen, whatever a single component declares. Toppings, sauces and buns pass through the same hands and surfaces as the grill.

Shelled peanuts sit out for guests near the entrance, so peanut dust is present in the dining room as well as the kitchen. Five Guys recommends telling a crew member about a serious allergy before ordering, since an open kitchen does not remove the shared-equipment risk.
