I love their chocolate milkshakes and am not opposed to eating a bunless burger with some ketchup and pickles on it, but does anyone have any info on whether any of their food is safe. Oh and also their fries. I think they are fried in dedicated fryers but not positive. I can e-mail the company but figured I would check here first.

I know they also serve onion rings, so I don't think they have dedicated fryers...

As long as the meat is 100% beef, you should be fine (assuming they don't put the buns on the grill) -- I would be careful about condomints also -- some fatburgers swipe the ladel into the condomints (mayo) and swipe it onto the bread and then place the ladle back in the mayo -- cross contamination...

i just saw this post and was wondering the same thing-- i went to fatburger when i was in vegas-- i had a bunless burger and fries there. about 15 minutes later i was violently ill and was sick the rest of the day, but i also questioned whether this was a gluten reaction (it was a "different" kind of sickness). So i know that wasnt helpful, but id be very interested in hearing if you find out, as i still dont know what made me sick!

The fries are differently not gluten free (cross contamination with Onion rings and other stuff in the fryer.

Its not a real safe place for us to eat (IMO)

Guess what folks? Fatburger now has a gluten free bun option for only an extra $1.25!!! I am so happy. Check it out. I went to the location in Bellevue, WA, I'm assuming all other locations offer the same.

Must be your local franchisee. I checked mine - he has one in the same building as my office and he doesn't do anything extra for true gluten-free - as far as CC goes.

I went to the downtown Redmond, WA Fat Burger today and watched them prepare food. I am not Gluten Free, but my wife is. As they were preparing my order, we watched them continuously feed buns into the toaster, without chaning their gloves. I believe their buns can get cross contaminated by the toaster, and the preparers gloves. I also believe they can get cross contaminated by the condiment knives. They fry their onion rings and fries in the same fryer as well. While their buns may be gluten free, cross contamination is a high possibility there.

      Blood Tests showed positive for celiac / Endoscopy confirmed no evidence of Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I have read research indicating differing reactions to various oat cultivars, however, nothing suggesting that some contain gluten - do you have a source for that?

      Strictness with products

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      Hello Everyone,   I used to be a lot less strict with my gluten-free diet. I have always eaten gluten-free but never only got gluten-free-certified or labeled products but the last few years I have been taking it a lot more seriously and only eat at dedicated gluten-free restraunts or things labeled gluten-free.     A recent blood test of mine showed slightly elevated IGA and TTG IGA but negative Endomysial Antibody which my doctor said is likely pointing to cross contact. I have no clue how this could be happening and I am trying to be super super careful now.   For example I used to always get Kroger frozen chicken which says gluten free on the package but when I reach out to kroger they have no idea and they said in the processing plant the clean the area after each batch but its not dedicated gluten-free facility.  Could processed gluten-free foods or even meats I am getting be making my levels appear slightly over the normal causing damage?     I am meeting with a dietician soon but curious on anyone insights or brand recommendations for meats especially

      Gluten-Free Hair Mousse

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Try DevaCurl Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam for curls, Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse for long-lasting body, or Aveda Phomollient for a soft, natural lift. Budget-friendly options like Giovanni Natural Mousse or Herbal Essences Bio:Renew also work well. Avoid heavy ingredients and check for hydrolyzed wheat protein if highly sensitive. Always verify labels for gluten-free safety.

      Confused about test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Honestly, with a 10x or higher level on a TTG-IgA score, there is really no other explanation but celiac disease, at least in my humble opinion.
