Celiac Safety Score

40
Moderate Safety

Ginther's Swirls Ice Cream feels like a classic neighborhood spot—think creamy soft-serve and plenty of toppings—but when it comes to celiac safety, there's a noticeable lack of transparency. There's no mention of gluten-free cones, dedicated equipment, or staff training around allergens, and the usual suspects (cones, sprinkles, candy mix-ins) can easily hide gluten. If you're craving a simple cup of plain soft-serve, you might be able to make it work with some extra vigilance, but honestly, I'd love to see clearer protocols and options for our community. You know how it goes: sometimes that spontaneous ice cream stop just isn't worth the risk when the details are this fuzzy.
