⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• Not a dedicated gluten-free facility: buns are gluten-containing; the fryers and grills are used for multiple items in many locations, raising cross-contamination concerns. Plan for explicit allergy orders and glove changes.
• Peanut oil in fryers: several reports and official allergy notes emphasize peanut oil as part of the fry process; this is a potential risk for peanut-allergic diners even if gluten is controlled.
• Cross-contamination risk remains with toppings, sauces, and shared utensils in some shifts or high-traffic times. Diners frequently report that staff change gloves and segregate packaging, but occasional lapses or miscommunications occur in a busy context.
• Open kitchen environments can help some diners verify precautions, but may not fully guarantee avoidance if staff training varies.
• Ask for an allergy order and confirm glove changes and dedicated prep spaces.
• Choose lettuce-wrap or bowl options and confirm fries are in a dedicated fryer.
