Contains = declared as an ingredient in the Costa UK Allergen and Nutrition Guide (Autumn 2026). May contain = the allergen is present in the manufacturing site or supply chain, so cross-contamination is possible. Costa prepares food and drinks with shared equipment, so no item can be guaranteed allergen free. Ask a barista before ordering if you have an allergy.
