Frequently Asked Questions About Nutrition and Allergen
The only products we offer that contain gluten are our burger buns, hot dog buns, HP sauce, the Oreo Cookies and Lotus Biscoff milkshake mix-ins, and the Malt Vinegar condiment for our fries.
Due to the way some ingredients are prepared, they may also be unsuitable for people with an intolerance. You can find more information about these products here.
Since Five Guys buns are not gluten free, we offer modified options for customers with gluten sensitivity. You can order any burger or hot dog without the bun, in either a Lettuce Wrap or a No Bun Bowl. You can also bring your own gluten free bun, as the burger is simple to transfer. However, please note that due to food safety precautions, we cannot prepare your food with this bun.
Five Guys beef is gluten free, consisting of 100% 80/20 ground chuck with no additives, fillers, or preservatives. Our bacon and hot dogs are also gluten free. All meat is cooked on a dedicated grill separate from the bun toasting grill.
Our fries, both Five Guys Style and Cajun, are gluten free. They are made from fresh cut potatoes soaked in water and cooked in dedicated fryers with 100% refined peanut oil.
Whilst we do all we can to avoid it, there is always a risk of cross contamination. We advise checking our Allergen and Ingredients charts online or in store and always advising the team of any allergies or intolerances so they can take the appropriate precautions.
The beef for our burger patties is 80/20 lean ground chuck that has no additives or fillers! It is gluten free and does not include breadcrumbs, flour, soy sauce or any types of spices.
Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee no cross-contamination, so please use caution when ordering.
Peanuts are served in all Five Guys restaurants, but none of our menu items contain tree nuts. They are also not used in our cooking process in any way.
However, please remember that there is always a risk of cross-contamination in our locations. For your convenience, we feature open kitchens in all of our restaurants, so customers may watch their food be prepared.
Our buns are made with real sugar!

Yes, all Five Guys locations serve peanuts. We also cook our fries in peanut oil for optimal flavor. While we do make every effort to accommodate allergies, the use of peanut oil and open peanut containers create a significant risk for individuals with peanut allergies.
We serve peanuts as a quick snack for customers while they wait for their orders.

Nope! We pride ourselves on using real, fresh food, prepped and cooked daily. Because of this, you won’t find a freezer in the joint – only coolers.

Five Guys fries contain no gluten. Our potatoes are freshly cut, soaked in water and ONLY fried in refined peanut oil using fryers that cook absolutely nothing else.
