⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Kilwins is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contact risk exists in a shared kitchen/equipment environment.
- While many guests report proactive precautions (new tubs, clean scoops, glove changes, allergen binders), there are at least a few reports indicating less confidence in the protection against cross-contact.
- A single negative account exists among recent experiences, indicating that not every visit will feel fully guaranteed to be celiac-safe. Recency matters: most recent signals skew positive, but vigilance remains prudent.
