First Watch

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• Cross-contact risk is associated with shared kitchen equipment and surfaces, including toasters and cooking spaces. Some resources explicitly note that gluten-free items are prepared in shared equipment, and cross-contact is very likely.
• The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent risk of gluten exposure if strict separation practices aren’t maintained every visit.
• Staff knowledge and consistency can vary by location and staff training at the time of dining, so it’s prudent to ask about allergen handling procedures and request separate prep when possible.
