Greggs Dietary Guides
Clear, factual guidance for vegan, vegetarian, halal and gluten-conscious diners.
Greggs' allergen guide lists 13 items on our menu as vegan friendly, including Baguettes, Corn Topped Rolls and Garlic & Herb Dip. These guides go through the sweet treats counter in detail, because that is where people most often ask whether something is vegan or vegetarian.
Greggs names a set of vegetarian savoury and breakfast items itself, but does not publish a product-by-product vegetarian list for sweet treats. Where Greggs has not confirmed something, our guides say so and explain how to check the current allergen guide.
For halal, gluten free and allergen questions, see our dedicated pages: Greggs does not label any product halal, and the gluten free items it marks are made in shops that also handle wheat.
