Dedicated kitchen

For restaurants with diet:gluten=yes, as I understand, it is important to know if they have dedicated kitchen for gluten-free food, to avoid cross-contamination. Maybe it is also needed for a food manufactures. No need for this information in case of diet:gluten=only.

Do you have any idea about a special tag for this? --Vazhnov Alexey (talk) 08:30, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

I assume that if a restaurant declares that it serves gluten-free food, it means that they do not fry a gluten-free dish in the same pan in which a breaded cutlet was fried moments before.

But we're only a map, and we can't verify this other than to believe the restaurant's declaration of what they state on the menu. Gluten-free people should ask on the spot. Because not all restaurants are aware of it. maro21 16:09, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

As I understand, often food places (restaurants/manufactures) with diet:gluten=yes don't have dedicated area. At least in Wrocław. I have a colleague who should eat gluten-free food only, and she gets some information, so I can add such information to OSM. For example, the Hard Rock Cafe [has dedicated kitchen https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/142338218], but I don't know how to mark it. --Vazhnov Alexey (talk) 18:11, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Maybe diet:gluten:description=*. maro21 21:29, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm against a description, as this could easily be verified by asking the waiters and the description should be used to make notes about the specific ways in which gluten is managed, rather than as a simple yes or no option. It is common practice for many coeliacs to check for contamination, so this could be a tag that is better checked and parsed by gluten free maps. --Martinligabue (talk) 21:34, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

There absolutely should be a gluten_cross_contamination tag or something of the sort, or gluten_free_certified (many national or regional coeliac associations will provide certifications. This is the key difference for people with coeliac disease and the tag as it stands now does not cover it. Marcboschmatas (talk) 14:09, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Yes but make sure its diet:gluten_free not diet_gluten
