🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Burgers served on gluten-free buns.
  • Burgers can be requested as lettuce-wrapped (bun-free) alternatives.
  • Fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (as reported by some diners; confirm at this location).
  • Gluten-free pasta dishes (as noted in broader location reporting).
  • Salads prepared without croutons (with gluten-free preparation in mind).
  • Hash browns or similar breakfast sides cooked in a pan to reduce cross-contact (as reported in at least one experience).

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The location is not listed as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact is possible, particularly for fried items.
  • Some reports indicate dedicated fryers exist at other White Spot locations, but it’s not guaranteed for every location (including Courtenay). Confirm the fryer status for this visit.
  • There are anecdotes about separate preparation steps for allergy-safe dishes, but consistency can vary across shifts and patrons.
