Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free burgers with a gluten-free bun (Schär bun) when ordered at the counter.
- Fries labeled gluten-free and prepared in a separate fryer in some locations.
- A dedicated gluten-free menu and signage indicating GF options are available at the counter in several accounts.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination remains a recurring concern in some recent reports, including situations where GF buns or components were not clearly distinguished at the point of service.
- In some accounts, GF items require ordering at the counter and may take longer to prepare, with the potential for mix-ups in busy periods.
- While there are positive, recent experiences, there are also reports of negative effects after meals, underscoring that risk is not zero and depends on exact handling at each visit.
