Allergy & cross-contact caution: GF, DF and Vegan badges identify documented options only. They do not mean a dedicated allergen-free kitchen or guarantee safety for celiac disease or food allergies. Confirm ingredients and preparation directly.
Current Dietary Information Badges are conservative and appear only where current restaurant or corporate menu information documents the option. Cuisine alone is never used as evidence. No GF badge is assigned without sufficiently specific current evidence.
