Our Commitment to Accuracy

Every nutrition value in ChipotleCalc comes from Chipotle's officially published data. We do not estimate values, we do not use crowd-sourced databases, and we do not publish ranges or approximations when an exact figure is available from Chipotle's own sources. Our primary sources are Chipotle's interactive online nutrition calculator and Chipotle's downloadable nutrition PDF, both published at chipotle.com.

All nutrition figures are cross-referenced between both sources before being added to the ingredient database. When the two sources disagree, we use the most recently dated figure and note the discrepancy in the changelog. Our full data sourcing approach is described in the methodology page and sources page.

Update Schedule

Chipotle periodically updates its menu — adding limited-time proteins, adjusting portion sizes, or revising ingredient formulations. We monitor Chipotle's official channels and commit to checking our data within 48 hours of any public announcement of a menu change. Quarterly, we re-download Chipotle's nutrition PDF and compare it against our database to catch any silent updates that were not announced publicly.

This site covers the US Chipotle menu only. Chipotle operates in Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and other markets where ingredient formulations, portion sizes, and available items may differ from the US menu. We do not publish nutrition data for non-US markets and make no claim of accuracy for international Chipotle orders.

Corrections

When we are informed of an error, we verify it against Chipotle's official sources and correct it promptly — typically within 24 hours of verification. All data corrections are logged in the changelog with a description of what changed and why. We do not silently update values; every correction is documented.

To report a nutrition data error, email contact@chipotlecalc.com with a link to Chipotle's official source showing the correct value. We will respond within two business days.

Independence

ChipotleCalc has no commercial relationship with Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. We have not received payment, sponsorship, data feeds, or products from Chipotle or any of its affiliates. Our content is not reviewed or approved by Chipotle before publication. All editorial decisions — which items to include, how to label dietary categories, what warnings to display — are made independently by this site's editors.

We do not accept payment for favorable content or data presentation. The calculator shows the nutrition data as Chipotle publishes it — we don't adjust values to make any item look better or worse than the published figures.

Health Claims

ChipotleCalc does not make medical or health claims. When we describe a build as "keto-friendly," "high protein," or "low calorie," we are describing it in terms of widely accepted nutritional definitions (detailed on the methodology page), not making medical recommendations. Dietary labels on this site are informational and should not be interpreted as advice for managing any medical condition. For dietary decisions with medical implications — including diabetes, kidney disease, cardiovascular conditions, or eating disorders — consult a qualified healthcare provider or registered dietitian.

Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure

This site may display advertising once Google AdSense is approved. We do not receive commissions or affiliate fees from Chipotle, any food brand, or any nutrition-tracking app. Our editorial content — including which items we feature, how we order search results, and what dietary labels we apply — is not influenced by advertising or affiliate relationships of any kind.
