CAVA

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is inherent cross-contamination risk in a fast-casual, line-style setup.
• The main gluten exposure comes from pita/pita chips and falafel items. Most evidence suggests these can be avoided, but they are present in the overall menu.
• The allergen information is available online/in-store, and many staff members are described as gluten-aware, often changing gloves and using new utensils when allergies are disclosed. However, there are occasional mentions of inconsistent experiences, especially if busy, which reinforces the importance of proactive communication at the start of your order.
