IHOP

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• Shared kitchen realities: Official allergen information from IHOP emphasizes that, due to multiple gluten sources in shared cooking and prep areas (including fryers), they cannot guarantee any menu item is completely gluten-free.
• Variability by location: Despite the dedicated-gluten-free facility flag in this listing, the broader caution about cross-contamination applies to IHOP as a brand. Guest experiences include both careful handling (e.g., staff oversight and separate prep in some reports) and general reminders to proceed with vigilance.
• Practical precautions: If visiting, consider requesting kitchen staff to clean appliances and utensils, ask for fresh gloves when handling GF orders, and rely on items clearly marked or chosen from the gluten-friendly/gluten-sensitive options with explicit confirmation from staff.
