Chipotle Gluten-Free Ingredients

Here is the list of Chipotle ingredients that are prepared without gluten.

Trace Amounts of Gluten

As shown in the table above, Chipotle’s menu offers plenty of gluten-free options. However, if you follow a strict gluten-free diet, you may want to take extra precautions. Ask a Chipotle employee about the corn tortillas.

The chips and the crispy corn tortillas may have trace amounts of gluten due to potential contact with gluten-containing grains in the field.

In addition, corn salsa may also come in contact with foods that contain gluten.

Gluten-Free is Not Guaranteed

Due to variations in supplier ingredients and shared preparation areas, there is no guarantee that any menu item prepared and/or served in the restaurant or at the drive-thru is entirely free of gluten.

Because of the handcrafted nature of the food at Chipotle fast food chains, the food may not meet the definition of gluten-free for individuals with celiac disease or those who have a severe gluten allergy.

Request Fresh Gloves

Gluten-sensitive customers may request that Chipotle staff change their gloves at the start of your order.

Foods to Avoid

To help ensure you avoid gluten while dining at the Chipotle restaurant chain, do not order flour tortillas.

Chipotle’s tortillas are made with only four ingredients. Here is the list.

Overview of Food Allergens

The most common allergens and allergic reactions are related to nine major food groups:

Federal regulations require manufacturers and restaurants to declare which foods are made with any of these allergens.

However, there is no requirement to test every meal prior to service. So guests with gluten sensitivities need to understand the potential risk of cross contamination and the possibility that any food may contain trace amounts of gluten.

Cross Contact

Space in a fast food restaurant environment is generally limited and menu items are often prepared and cooked using shared equipment. Moreover, food preparation may be rushed and chaotic.

If the kitchen does not have a dedicated fryer, the same oil and fryer may be used to cook multiple food items such as potatoes, chicken, or fish that’s breaded or contains wheat, barley, or rye.

Although kitchen staff may follow strict food safety procedures, there is no guarantee that any item is 100% free of allergens.

Due to the risk of cross-contamination, even foods that are not made with allergens may still come in contact with gluten.
