Good to know if you have celiac disease
Cross-contamination risk. Mixed kitchen, not entirely dedicated to gluten-free: contact with or shared preparation alongside gluten-containing products remains possible, even with no specific mechanism identified to date.
Shared fryer. Fries cooked in the same oil as breaded products are not gluten-free, regardless of their original recipe.
Unverified claim. The establishment claims to be gluten-free, but Nutrixe has not yet been able to verify it.
