In Chipotle's allergen data
From Chipotle:Although we do not use eggs, mustard, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, shellfish, or fish as ingredients in our food, Chipotle cannot guarantee the complete absence of these allergens in its restaurants.
From Chipotle:Additionally, limited time offerings or menu items in test may include one or more allergens, including allergens not identified on this page.
From Chipotle:You should be aware items containing corn, including corn tortillas (chips and crispy corn tortillas) and corn salsa, may have trace amounts of gluten from potentially co-mingling with gluten-containing grains in the field.
From Chipotle:If you are highly sensitive to gluten and would like us to change our gloves, just let us know at the start of your order.

From Chipotle:All sulphites present in Chipotle food items come exclusively from vinegar – in which sulphites occur naturally below the concentration (10 ppm) to be required as a listed ingredient under federal law. However, with an interest in transparency and for any customers with extreme sensitivities, we chose to label menu items containing vinegar as possible allergens.
From Chipotle:Individual foods may come into contact with one another during preparation, which is not reflected on this chart.

Other notes on Chipotle's data (1)
Not counted as contradictions: differences between parts of a dish, or other columns.
An ingredient names an allergen the chart does not mark · Sulfites
The allergen chart says no; the chain's own text says yes
Chipotle's ingredient list for Chicken names "Distilled Vinegar", and its allergen page says it chose to "label menu items containing vinegar as possible allergens"; its allergen information lists sulfites as not contained for Chicken. The two may have been updated at different times.
“However, with an interest in transparency and for any customers with extreme sensitivities, we chose to label menu items containing vinegar as possible allergens.”
