Dietary filters
GF and DF badges appear only when current published menu or allergen information supports them. NJTGO does not infer dietary compatibility.
No current listings have enough published information to support that dietary badge.
Allergy & cross-contact caution: A GF or DF badge identifies a current published option, not an allergen-free kitchen. Shared fryers, ovens, grills, prep surfaces and utensils can create cross-contact. People with celiac disease, food allergies or medically necessary restrictions should verify ingredients and preparation directly every time.

How NJTGO applies GF & DF badges
GF means current published information identifies a gluten-free or gluten-friendly choice. DF means current information supports a dairy-free or vegan choice. These badges describe available options—not the safety of the full kitchen.
