⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The official gluten-free offering acknowledges that there is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen and that cross-contact can occur in normal kitchen operations. While staff are trained and protocols exist (glove changes, clean utensils, separate labeling), nothing guarantees zero cross-contact.
- Fries and some fried items may not be gluten-free due to shared frying equipment in some locations.
- There are multiple reports of diners experiencing gluten exposure or gluten-related reactions at this location, including some recent incidents. While these are not universal, they illustrate that risk remains and that careful ordering and explicit kitchen communication are essential.
