They offered to bake the fries because the oil was contaminated. GF bun for the burger. Fantastic!

American and allergies: what to watch for

Wheat / GlutenDairyEggSoy

The hidden risks here are shared fryers (one fryer for fries, breaded chicken and more), wheat in buns, breading and sauces, and dairy in dressings, cheese and desserts. Egg shows up in mayo-based sauces and baked goods; peanut and tree nuts in desserts and some 'secret' sauces.

Common questions

How risky are shared fryers at American restaurants?

This is the main cross-contact risk — fries often share a fryer with breaded (wheat-containing) items. If you avoid gluten, ask whether there's a dedicated fryer.

Can I get a gluten-free burger?

Usually — most spots offer a lettuce wrap or GF bun, but confirm the patty has no filler and isn't cooked on a shared surface with buns.

Where does dairy hide in American food?

Dressings, sauces, cheese, buttered buns and desserts. Ask for no cheese and check whether the bun is buttered and the sauce is dairy-free.
