Five Guys

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, so there is inherent cross-contamination risk in a high-volume kitchen.
• Buns are gluten-containing and cooked on a separate grill in many cases, but not guaranteed across all prep scenarios. Some reports mention buns and toppings sharing prep spaces and equipment unless specific allergy steps are taken.
• While many diners report successful avoidance of glutened symptoms, there are occasional negative experiences across the broader brand where gloves aren’t changed or cross-contact occurs, underscoring that safety is highly dependent on strict adherence to protocol.
• Fries are gluten-free when prepared in their dedicated fryer, but peanut oil is involved, which can be a concern for peanut allergies.
• Condiments and toppings may introduce risk if not handled with dedicated utensils or separate prep, so it’s wise to confirm all prep steps for each visit.
