Chipotle

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent cross-contamination risk due to shared equipment and ingredients.
• However, there is substantial, consistent evidence of proactive cross-contamination precautions: glove changes, utensil swaps, surface wipes, and fresh ingredient handling when customers identify a gluten concern.
• Some older or high-volume periods show occasional lapses in perceived protocol, but many recent reports describe thorough precaution and successful avoidance of reactions when proper steps are requested and followed.
• The allergen information provided by Chipotle emphasizes the flour tortillas as the primary gluten-containing items, with many other items described as gluten-free if prepared with care.
