What to know before you order.
Chipotle's current allergen chart identifies soy in Sofritas, the tofu-based protein. Choosing another protein removes that identified component from your build, but it doesn't resolve possible contact from the Sofritas pan, serving utensil, gloves, or work surface. You'll have a clearer conversation if you name Sofritas and ask how the protein area is handled.
The national chart answers which standard protein is identified for soy, while the restaurant team can explain the current line arrangement. Ask whether the Sofritas utensil or spills can reach nearby ingredients and whether fresh gloves, clean utensils, and ingredients from untouched containers are available. Current recipes, suppliers, test items, and location practices still need confirmation.
A practical way to sort your options.
These labels can help you narrow the menu. “Worth asking about” is a place to continue the conversation, not a promise.
Clear conflicts
- Sofritas
Options you may want to ask about
- A non-Sofritas build after each current component is checked against the allergen information
- A protein and toppings served with clean utensils after staff explain their proximity to Sofritas
What still needs checking
- A non-Sofritas order when contact from the Sofritas pan, utensil, or spills has not been discussed
- A limited-time protein or sauce that is not covered by the current national allergen page
Questions you can ask restaurant staff.
- Does any component in my final build contain soy today, including a limited-time protein, sauce, or topping?
- Where is Sofritas held, and can its utensil or spills contact the protein and toppings I am ordering?
- Can fresh gloves, clean utensils, and ingredients from untouched containers be used?
