Celiac Safety Score

58
Moderate Safety

Let me set the record straight: despite a headline suggesting Smashburger is a dedicated gluten-free facility, there’s no evidence to support that—either from their own menu language or their allergy statements. In fact, Smashburger clearly states that all menu items are prepared using shared equipment, and they can’t guarantee an item is free from allergen cross-contact. Yes, you’ll find gluten-free buns and some staff who know how to swap gloves or flag an allergy, but as someone who lives with celiac, I can’t relax knowing wheat buns are being toasted right next to mine. If you’re only mildly gluten-sensitive, you might get by with a lettuce wrap and a careful order, but for celiacs needing true safety, this one’s just not worth the gamble.
