Allergens:
The pitta contains dairy, gluten, and possible traces of rye, soy, and nuts. Nando’s allergen guide notes:
- Dairy: Cheddar cheese, mayo.
- Gluten: Toasted pitta.
- Rye, soy, nuts: Potential cross-contamination.
Customization, like swapping pitta for a wrap, may reduce gluten exposure. Cross-contamination risks exist, as bread is handled in kitchens.
