Grill'd Burgers - Swanston Street

confidence 0.65 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Grill'd offers gluten-free buns and marks some menu items as GF, but operates a shared kitchen with shared fryers and prep areas. The chain's own website states it caters to 'gluten free' diners, and the Atly guide notes that the Grill'd QV branch marks GF options. However, the Atly guide also flags a risk of 'gluten mix-up' at the Degraves Street branch, and the FindMeGlutenFree aggregator lists Grill'd as having a 'GF Menu' but not a dedicated kitchen. No accreditation from Coeliac Australia or any other recognised body is mentioned. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged.

According to the Wikipedia article, as of May 2024, Grill'd provides halal meat (excluding bacon) to all locations, but without restaurant-level certification. The Blacktown location was the first halal-certified restaurant. For the Swanston Street location, there is no evidence of halal certification. The meat is halal-sourced, but preparation may not meet halal standards. This is a 'community help wanted' situation.
