Gluten Free Process Or Not?

One Fryer in the store, each night the oil is dumped, and the fryer is cleaned. The next morning, new oil is added, and the first thing cooked is the corn chips (triangle chips with salsa). After that, no more chips are fried that day. Then the normal frying starts, breaded foods and other items.

This Store (Chilies) has a gluten free printout, french frys are NOT listed as gluten free (cooked all day in common fryer), but the chips are listed as they are fried in a clean fryer with new oil.

Seems to me there is still a change of cross contamination, is this enough to be concerned?

I will preface my response by saying that I am not a super sensitive, but it is something that I think would be safe for me (if I could eat corn, that is :D )

I have had no problems from it so far.

Chilis serves gluten there will always be a chance of CC. However, assuming the fryer was cleaned and emptied properly that risk should be minimal and most of the risk I would think would be from CC after the chips were fried.

Just a thought...if we can't use colanders that were previously used with gluten pasta because it can't be cleaned thoroughly enough..what about the basket that's used to hold and lift the fried chips? Wouldn't there be a strong possibilty of cc?

good point. Not something I had ever considered but valid.

eh, the type of food they cook in those isn't like pasta and its love of getting into tight unabletobecleaned spaces.

Agreed. I would eat them, but that's just me.

While Chili's gets pretty good ratings on allergy and gluten-free accommodations, I would still offer at least a hint of caution using California Pizza Kitchen and Applebee's as examples.

CPK just rescinded their gluten-free menu, recognizing that they didn't know how to handle CC. Applebee's has all kinds of allergen and sensitivity menus, but get some of the absolute worst ratings in our community because the staff is not properly trained on gluten-free, allergies, CC, or even proper order-taking from those of us who need a little understanding during the ordering process.

My fear is that Chili's is basically the same as these others - overly casual sit-down dining with a very high staff turnover rate of young kids.

That said, I rarely eat there and again, Chili's has good community ratings as a whole so far.

Good luck.

First ...I would NEVER order from CPK!! Too dangerous.

The Chilli's by my house is actually really good. I ordered a chicken dish. The waitress came back and told me that they had recently added chips to the dish. The chef had told her to come out and ask me if I wanted them or not because they made their own chips in the fryer and there may be cc with that. This really impressed me that they would be that aware.

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      @Zuma888,  I'm so happy you're feeling better!   Thanks for letting us know of your improvement!

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.
    • trents
      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2
