⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• There is no dedicated gluten-free facility at this location, which means cross-contact is a nonzero risk in some areas of the store.
• Some items labeled gluten-free may still be produced in facilities that handle wheat or on shared equipment, so reading labels and asking for ingredient details remains important.
• There have been discussions and external cases highlighting concerns about labeling and gluten presence in some items (e.g., products marketed as GF that may contain gluten), underscoring the need for careful shopper verification.
• Review patterns show a mix: many shoppers report positive GF experiences and staff support, while a minority flag labeling gaps or cross-contamination concerns.
• On a broader note, there is at least one high-profile lawsuit discussion about the gluten-free status of a widely-marketed GF product, which reinforces the importance of cautious shopping and direct ingredient checks.
