Schnitz Balaclava

Schnitz publishes a detailed allergen matrix online and in-store that marks dishes with gluten-containing ingredients. A gluten-free wrap is available. All crumbs and breaders, Traditional, Corn Crunch, Spicy, and Buttermilk, contain wheat or gluten. The kitchen is shared; there is no dedicated fryer or prep area for gluten-free items. Cross-contamination is explicitly acknowledged. Staff can be advised of allergies, but the structural setup remains shared.

The allergen guide explicitly marks peanuts and tree nuts as 'may contain' or 'contains' in many items, including salads, sauces, and desserts. The kitchen is shared, and cross-contamination is acknowledged. Staff can be informed, but there is no nut-free preparation area.

Milk is listed as a 'contains' or 'may contain' allergen in most menu items, including crumbs, sauces, and desserts. The allergen guide provides per-item details. Shared kitchen and fryers mean cross-contamination is a known risk.

Egg, a common ingredient in the batter, crumbs, and many sauces like aioli and mayonnaise, is clearly marked for each item on the allergen guide. Shared preparation and cooking areas mean cross-contamination is possible.

Soy is listed as a 'contains' or 'may contain' allergen in many items, including the gluten-free wrap, sauces, and crumbs. The allergen guide provides per-item details. Shared kitchen environment.

Crustaceans and fish are listed as 'may contain' allergens in many items, including crumbs, sauces, and chips. The allergen guide provides per-item details. Shared fryers and kitchen mean cross-contamination is a known risk.

The menu identifies vegetarian items such as the veggie patty and several salads. The allergen guide details ingredients, but shared fryers and grills make cross-contamination with meat a possibility. Staff receive training to accommodate dietary requests.

The menu includes salads and chips that could be suitable for pescatarians, though the primary proteins are chicken and beef. No dedicated pescatarian menu exists. A shared kitchen means cross-contamination with meat is likely.

The menu includes a 'Vegan Cookie Butter Loaded Cookie' and a veggie patty option. However, the allergen guide does not explicitly mark vegan items, and the shared fryer/cooking environment means cross-contamination with animal products is likely. Staff may accommodate on request, but there is no dedicated vegan menu or preparation area.

A 'High Protein Low Carb Wrap' is available, which may suit some keto diners. However, most menu items are high in carbohydrates (crumbs, chips, buns). No dedicated keto menu or preparation area. Staff may be able to assist on request.

No sources mention low-FODMAP options. The menu contains garlic and onion in many items, which are high-FODMAP. Staff may be able to accommodate on request, but there is no dedicated menu or preparation.

No sources mention sugar-free options. The menu carries significant sugar content across sauces, desserts, and chips. Staff may be able to accommodate on request, but there is no dedicated menu or preparation.
