What to watch for with gluten-free food

Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley and spelt — and therefore in much bread, pasta, pizza bases, breading and sauces. Oats are naturally gluten-free but are often contaminated with wheat. Soy sauce and beer usually contain gluten too.

For people with coeliac disease, preparation matters as much as ingredients. Cross-contamination happens when gluten-free fries share a fryer with breaded snacks, or when a gluten-free pizza base is topped on the same board as regular pizzas.

Friendly Food shows which dishes do not list gluten-containing ingredients. Whether a kitchen can rule out cross-contamination differs per restaurant. If you have coeliac disease, always ask when ordering. Three useful questions:

  1. Do you use a separate fryer for gluten-free products?
  2. Is the dish prepared on a separate board or with separate utensils?
  3. Does the sauce, marinade or stock contain gluten?

Practical tips when ordering without gluten

  1. Pick a dish on the map without gluten, not only a restaurant that mentions “gluten-free options”. Check whether the information comes from the restaurant or is an estimate by Friendly Food.
  2. Mention coeliac disease or a gluten allergy in the order notes when ordering online, and say it again if you call. Restaurants must be able to give allergen information, including before you pay online.
  3. Ask about the fryer, pizza peel and pasta water. Those are the three places gluten most often crosses over in a kitchen.
  4. Pick up yourself if you are unsure. In person you speak to the kitchen; with delivery your note passes through more hands.
  5. Order outside peak hours, for example before 17:30. A quieter kitchen has more time for separate prep.
  6. Check on pickup whether the dish is packed or labelled separately, and ask for sauces and toppings on the side.
