IHOP

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• The IHOP gluten-friendly program relies on items prepared without gluten-containing ingredients but cannot guarantee complete gluten-free status due to shared cooking and prep areas.
• Some diners have reported being advised about potential cross-contact and the use of separate pans or areas for gluten-free preparation, while others warn that cross-contact risk remains in a shared-kitchen setting.
• Takeout orders sometimes show GF items in clearly separated containers, which can help reduce cross-contact risk during packaging.
• A manager or staff member may participate in overseeing safety for certain orders, highlighting variability in how precautions are implemented across locations.
