⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; buns and some bun-related processes still exist on-site, which means cross-contamination risk can never be fully eliminated.
• Fries are often prepared in a dedicated fryer, but cross-contact can occur in other prep areas or with toppings, so vigilance is still advised.
• Peanut oil is commonly used for frying, which is a concern for peanut allergies.
• Some reports describe inconsistent safety practices, especially during busy times or with less experienced staff; a few recent reviews note negative experiences or failed precautions.
• Shakes or certain toppings may carry gluten risk, depending on ingredients and equipment (e.g., mix-ins or dairy toppings). Always ask about potential gluten in shakes or toppings if you have sensitive celiac disease.
