The tool covers all 14 major allergens required under UK and EU food labelling legislation: gluten and cereals containing gluten, milk and dairy, eggs, fish, crustaceans, molluscs, peanuts, tree nuts, soybeans, celery and celeriac, mustard, sesame seeds, sulphites and sulphur dioxide, and lupin. You can tick any combination of these to exclude them simultaneously. Separately, Step 1 lets you apply an overarching dietary preference of vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free before you filter by individual allergens. Both filters operate together, so a vegan who also needs to avoid sesame seeds can apply both at once and see only items that satisfy both criteria.

No, and this distinction is critical. The Safe badge confirms that a particular allergen does not appear as a direct ingredient in that product according to the official Greggs Allergen Guide for 2026. It does not and cannot guarantee that the item is free from traces of that allergen. Greggs stores are high-volume, shared baking environments with open preparation surfaces, shared ovens, and shared handling equipment. Cross-contamination risk is always present and cannot be eliminated by the retailer. Anyone managing a severe or life-threatening allergy — particularly to peanuts, tree nuts, or sesame — must speak directly with store staff and consult the official Greggs allergen documentation before consuming any product.

The allergen data is based on the official Greggs Allergen Guide for 2026, cross-referenced with publicly available product information. Greggs regularly updates its recipes, seasonal menu items, and supplier ingredients, which can change allergen profiles without prior public notice. Always verify directly with Greggs plc using their official resources before relying on this tool for any high-severity dietary decision. This tool is provided as an advisory framework and not as a substitute for official allergen labelling or direct communication with the retailer.

Yes. Once you have applied your filters and the safe items list has populated, a Download and Print Safe List button becomes available. This generates a clean, printable version of your personalised safe menu filtered to your exact dietary and allergen criteria, broken down by category — Breakfast, Savouries, Sandwiches, Sweet Treats, Drinks, and Hot Food. There is also a copy and share option, which is particularly useful if you are checking options on behalf of someone else ahead of a visit or sending a summary to a friend with specific dietary needs.

Yes, this is one of the tool’s core features. You can apply a dietary preference in Step 1 — for example, vegetarian — and then select multiple allergens to exclude in Step 2, such as eggs, mustard, and sulphites simultaneously. The filter will then display only the items from the Greggs menu that satisfy every single condition you have applied at once. This makes the tool significantly more practical than single-allergen lookups, particularly for people managing multiple dietary requirements within a household or workplace group order.
