- Allergen guidance accessibility: staff often able to reference an allergen list or binder; know-how varies, but at least some staff proactively verify safety.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

- Staff knowledge about gluten and gluten-free options is mixed across experiences; some guests report careful handling and use of separate scoopers or utensils, while others describe staff confusion or gaps in allergy reading.
- Some guests have relied on allergen sheets or online allergen guidance; others have noted the importance of asking for clean utensils and verifying which flavors are GF.
