⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Cross-contamination can occur in busy kitchens, particularly if orders aren’t clearly communicated or if gluten-free instructions aren’t echoed back to staff. Several reviews mention the importance of clearly stating “GF order coming back” and of kitchen staff changing gloves and wiping down surfaces.
  • While many diners report safe experiences, there are occasional reports of adverse reactions or missteps (e.g., a GF order not fully followed or an allergen not clearly communicated). These appear relatively infrequent compared with the volume of positive feedback.
  • The presence of a dedicated GF fryer and a GF menu, along with staff training, reduces risk significantly, but vigilance remains important.
