Celiac safety assessment and key features
Fox Tale Fermentation Project wears its passion for community and food like a badge, but when it comes to celiac safety, things get a bit murky. While their menu highlights inventive plant-based fare—think wild rice bowls, tangy fermented sides, and gluten-free carrot cake—it's clear this isn't a dedicated gluten-free facility. Gluten-free choices are labeled, which is helpful, but there's no detailed info about cross-contamination protocols or separate prep areas. If you’re strictly gluten-free for medical reasons, you’ll want to have a real conversation with the team before ordering—curiosity is encouraged here, but so is caution.
