Nando’s Allergen Menu UK 2026 – Full & Updated Allergy Guide

If you have food allergies, checking the Nando’s allergen menu before ordering is essential. Nando’s handles many allergens in its kitchens, and although they clearly label ingredients and risks, they cannot guarantee any item is allergen-free due to shared cooking areas and equipment.

In this complete guide, you’ll find every Nando’s UK menu item broken down by allergy category, including ingredients, “contains” allergens, and “may contain” cross-contamination risks. This information comes directly from the official Nando’s allergen handbook.

Whether you’re sensitive to gluten, dairy, nuts, soya, mustard, eggs, sesame or sulphites, this updated list helps you choose safely.

If you have a food allergy, Nando’s recommends speaking to the manager on duty so they can take extra precautions while preparing your meal.
