Celiac Safety Score

50
Moderate Safety

Soto offers a selection of gluten-free options, including gluten-free soy sauce and certain sushi items, which can cater to diners with gluten sensitivities. However, the establishment does not have dedicated gluten-free preparation areas, which raises concerns about cross-contamination. The overall safety for celiac diners is moderate, given the lack of dedicated facilities and the potential for gluten exposure during food preparation. Therefore, while there are gluten-free options available, caution is advised for those with celiac disease.
