Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Schnitz provides an allergen matrix that marks wheat and gluten on most standard crumb items. They offer 'Corn Crunch Crumbs (Gluten Friendly)' but note that these 'may contain' wheat, gluten, egg, milk, soy, and sesame seeds due to shared kitchen conditions. The allergen guide states they cannot guarantee completely allergen-free meals because of cross-contamination risk in the working environment. Advance notice is recommended for severe allergies.

Honest caveat: The chain states it 'cannot guarantee completely allergen free meals' and acknowledges that trace cross-contamination may occur in the shared kitchen environment.
