Gluten-free & dairy-free guidance
Allergy & cross-contact caution: “GF Options” or “DF Options” means current menu information supports at least one relevant choice or substitution. It does not mean a dedicated gluten-free, dairy-free, celiac-safe or allergy-safe kitchen. Ingredients, preparation areas, fryers and menus can change. People with celiac disease or food allergies should speak directly with restaurant staff before ordering.
Used only when a current menu explicitly identifies gluten-free items or substitutions.
Used only when a current menu explicitly supports dairy-free items or substitutions such as nondairy milk.
No badge simply means NJTGO did not verify the option from current public menu information; it is not a claim that no option exists.
