- Staff knowledge gaps: reports note variable staff awareness about gluten/celiac safety, with some incidents where a manager had to step in, but gaps remained.
- Inconsistent safety signals: while many arepas and GF-labeled items exist, a few reviews mention safety concerns or experiences of gluten exposure.
- A notable negative experience exists in the collected notes, including a gluten-related reaction linked to ordering issues.
