Chick-fil-A is not safe for people with celiac disease. They offer a GFCO-certified bun and a dedicated waffle-fry fryer, but the kitchen is shared and cross-contact is unavoidable.
Chipotle is not safe for people with celiac disease. The open assembly line shares utensils and gloves with flour tortillas at every order, so cross-contact is unavoidable.
McDonald's is not safe for people with celiac disease. Shared fryers, shared prep areas, and wheat-containing items throughout the menu make cross-contact unavoidable.
Subway is not safe for people with celiac disease. Wheat flour saturates every prep surface and the gluten-free bread is handled in the same workflow as regular bread.
