Overview
The Sansglu Safety Score is a 0–100 indicator designed to help gluten‑free diners assess cross‑contact risk at a restaurant. It is not medical advice and it is not a guarantee of safety. Always confirm current practices directly with the restaurant.
What the score represents
The score reflects how consistently a restaurant can serve gluten‑free food with minimal cross‑contact risk. Higher scores indicate stronger gluten‑free protocols and clearer evidence of safe handling.
Signals we may consider
The exact score is derived from multiple signals, which can include:
- Dedicated gluten‑free kitchens or facilities
- Separate prep areas, tools, or storage
- Dedicated fryers and equipment
- Clearly labeled gluten‑free menus and allergens
- Documented staff training and procedures
- Verified diner reports or reliable third‑party sources
How to interpret ranges (general guide)
- 90–100: Dedicated gluten‑free or exceptionally strong protocols
- 70–89: Strong gluten‑free practices with clear protocols
- 40–69: Some gluten‑free options, but cross‑contact risk likely
- 0–39: Limited or unclear gluten‑free safety signals
What the score does not mean
- It does not guarantee a meal will be safe for celiac disease.
- It does not replace medical guidance or a doctor’s advice.
- It may change as restaurant practices change.
How we verify information
We aim to keep data current, but practices evolve. When possible, we rely on:
- Restaurant statements (menus, websites, published policies)
- On‑site or direct confirmations
- Credible community reports
If you spot an error or a change in a restaurant’s gluten‑free practices, please contact us so we can review and update the listing.
