⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is some inherent cross-contamination risk.
- However, numerous recent accounts describe effective precautions: changing gloves, using fresh containers, and scooping from back tubs when allergy scoops are requested.
- There are occasional reports of less-than-ideal handling or errors (e.g., decorative cone pieces slipped into bowls), which highlights that no system is perfect in a high-traffic environment. The consistent pattern across many recent experiences is that staff are generally proactive about safety when customers advocate for their needs.
