⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk remains a concern.
- Reports range from clear examples of safe experiences to incidents of gluten exposure, often tied to sauces, buns, or miscommunication.
- Some accounts describe dedicated fryers or careful staff knowledge, while others indicate inconsistent awareness or labeling.
- Sensitivity to sauces and the possibility of gluten in seemingly GF items suggests that careful, explicit verification with staff is essential on each visit.
