⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in theory.
- Frequent signals of caution: staff asking about allergies, notifying the kitchen, changing gloves, wiping boards, and attempting to separate prep when applicable.
- Occasional negative experiences exist where exposure or errors occurred, highlighting the need for clear communication, distinguishing allergy from preference, and confirming cleanliness of gloves and utensils for each order.
- Overall, careful practices are common and reduce risk when applied consistently, but diners should stay vigilant.
