⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• Cross-contact risk exists in any open-kitchen setup, and a few reviews note incidents where buns or toppings were touched during prep. However, many customers report consistent allergy flagging, deliberate glove changes, and separate packaging to mitigate risk.
• Fries are repeatedly singled out as being in a dedicated fryer and gluten-free, but toppings, condiments, and utensils can still introduce cross-contact if not managed carefully.
• Peanuts are often present on-site (free peanuts or peanut oil in frying), which is a consideration for peanut allergies even though the gluten risk is the primary focus here.
• Overall, most recent evidence points to strong precautionary practices, but occasional negative experiences exist in the wider set of reviews. If you have celiac disease, it’s wise to explicitly request allergy-focused procedures and verify the gluten-free status of each component at the moment of order.
