Cross-Contact & Supplier Policy

CAVA also notes that ingredient availability may vary by location, and allergen risk can change with suppliers, shared prep areas, and substitutions. Use the official allergen guide before ordering if you have a food allergy.

Best CAVA Menu Choices by Goal

How to Use the CAVA Nutrition Calculator

Use the CAVA nutrition calculator when you customize a bowl, pita, side, drink, or kids meal. It helps estimate calories, protein, carbs, fat, sodium, fiber, sugar, cholesterol, and allergens based on your selected ingredients.

Build Accuracy

Use the calculator after choosing your base, protein, dips, toppings, and dressing. This gives a more accurate result than guessing from one menu item.

Official CAVA Nutrition Source
