Celiac Safety Score

Limited Safety

Mr. Natural offers an impressive array of plant-based and gluten-free options, but if you’re living with celiac disease, there’s a serious catch: the kitchen isn’t dedicated gluten-free, and staff have directly stated their food isn’t celiac safe. While some baked goods—like those gluten-free muffins—look tempting and are kept on separate shelves, past employees and sensitive diners have repeatedly flagged rampant cross-contact issues. Honestly, if you’re celiac, this is one of those spots where the risks outweigh the rewards—sometimes being included just isn’t worth it.
