Schnitz Truganina

Schnitz offers a Gluten-Free Wrap option and a Corn Crunch Crumbs (Gluten Friendly) crumb, but the allergen guide states the Seasoned Plant-Based Batter contains wheat/gluten, and all crumbs except Buttermilk Breader contain wheat/gluten. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing ingredients (traditional crumbs, wraps, chips are beer-battered with wheat/gluten). The venue warns 'We cannot guarantee completely allergen free meals due to the potential presence of trace allergens in the working environment.' No dedicated fryer or kitchen is mentioned. A gluten-friendly crumb is available on request, but cross-contamination risk is high.
