Wagamama Allergen Guide: Nut, Gluten & Full Dish Breakdown
A note on sourcing: This Wagamama allergen guide is built from Wagamama’s own official allergen matrix (snapshot dated 22 April 2026), available at wagamama.com/allergen-information. It covers commonly ordered ramen, katsu curry, donburi, gyoza and small plates dishes only — it does not cover every dish, every restaurant, kids menu items, or drinks, and recipes/allergen risks can change at any time. This page is not a substitute for asking your server or checking the in-restaurant allergen guide before you order.
What’s in This Wagamama Allergen Guide?
Yes. Wagamama publishes a detailed allergen guide covering the 14 major allergens recognised under UK law (celery, gluten/cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, soya and sulphites). You can look this up dish-by-dish on Wagamama’s own site, or ask staff for a printed copy in-restaurant. Below is a summary of the most commonly ordered dishes, sourced directly from that guide.
Wagamama Nut Allergy: What You Need to Know
If you’re checking this Wagamama allergen guide because of a wagamama nut allergy, start here. Tree nuts and peanuts show up as a “may contain” allergen on several Wagamama dishes — most often on katsu curry sauces and ramen broths — rather than as a listed ingredient. That distinction matters: “may contain” means cross-contact risk in a shared kitchen, not that the dish is made with nuts. If you have a nut allergy:
- Don’t assume a dish is nut-free just because nuts aren’t in the ingredient list — check the “may contain” column too.
- Katsu curry sauces (chicken, hot chicken, yasai and hot yasai katsu curry) all carry a “may contain tree nuts, peanuts” warning in Wagamama’s guide.
- Kare burosu ramen also carries a “may contain tree nuts, peanuts” warning.
- Tell your server about a nut allergy specifically — Wagamama’s kitchens are not nut-free environments, and staff can advise on same-day risk better than any website.
To sum up this wagamama nut allergy section: always double-check the “may contain” column in this Wagamama allergen guide before ordering, and tell your server about the wagamama nut allergy directly so kitchen staff can advise on same-day cross-contact risk.

Wagamama Allergen Guide: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Wagamama have a gluten-free menu?
Wagamama doesn’t publish a separate gluten-free menu, but its allergen guide flags gluten and gluten-containing cereals (wheat, barley, oats, rye) dish by dish, so you can build a gluten-free order from the main menu. See our Wagamama gluten-free menu guide for a dedicated breakdown.
Is Wagamama safe for a severe nut allergy?
Several dishes carry a “may contain tree nuts, peanuts” warning, and Wagamama kitchens are not nut-free. If your nut allergy is severe, tell your server directly and ask about same-day cross-contact risk rather than relying on this guide alone.
What are the 14 major allergens Wagamama tracks?
Celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, soya and sulphur dioxide/sulphites — the same 14 allergens all UK food businesses are legally required to declare.
Does this page cover the kids menu or drinks?
No. The 22 April 2026 snapshot of Wagamama’s allergen guide used for this page did not include kids menu or drinks allergen data. Ask your server for that information directly.
