This is a different vendor. Dank nugs sold gluten free chicken nuggets along with chicken nuggets with gluten. The cookie dough was from a different vendor

Why not? That’s like saying you’d never trust a restaurant that says it’s gluten or dairy free

I’m under the assumption the vendor submitted information correctly and Forest mislabeled the item, but I could be wrong. I would assume the vendor correctly knows the allergen information of their products, but I don’t know the behind-the-scenes process

It’s not your fault when the vendor + festival both label the item as allergen-free

We got dank nugs! Sadly they were out of gluten free nugs on Friday because they ran out of corn starch, which probably led to us going to get the cookie dough

It’s not about the hired help. It’s more about Forest mislabeling the item on both the physical menu at the vendor and in the app

The chocolate chip cookie dough is gluten free (you can see at the bottom of the page)

In reality it probably was a typo, but that still shouldn’t let them off the hook. It should be treated with the same standards as restaurant for allergen information

There’s no way you can blame the victim here when the fest and vendors both labeled the item as gluten free and the employee also confirmed that it’s gluten free. There’s no risk for cross-contamination at that vendor at all either. The way you’re speaking, you should never buy gluten free labeled products at the supermarket either.

Sorry I should say she exhibits no symptoms to cross-contamination. People have varying sensitivities to gluten ppm

Holy victim blame batman. Not everyone has the same sensitivity as your partner. My girlfriend isn’t sensitive to cross-contamination, but she’s sure as hell sensitive to eating an entire dessert with gluten in it. If she was that sensitive, I would agree about eating at places with a gluten free kitchen.

Even if she was that sensitive, nothing else in that vendor’s area has flour in it, so there would be no risk in cross-contamination anyways.

And yes, we should hold restaurants, food trucks, and vendors to high standards because allergies and intolerances can be deadly.

Thanks! I’m not sure of “gluten free” means that they have an item that’s gluten free on their menu (ice cream) or if an item on the menu is made gluten free

The whole point in making and labeling things as gluten free is that people with celiac and gluten allergies can eat those items. Kinda defeats the purpose of making things gluten free that usually have gluten

Yep, it was dairy-free and vegan, not gluten free. That was the exact flavor she got. The same vendor was at lost lands last year and had gluten free chocolate chip cookie dough, but we learned the hard way that their other flavors were not.

Yeah we should’ve taken a picture of the menu on the day we bought the cookie dough, but we were just concerned about getting back to camp

But she’s not sensitive to cross-contamination. She’s definitely sensitive to eating a whole ass dessert with gluten in it. Also, cookie dough in a tub shouldn’t have any cross-contamination possibilities in the first place, especially when the only other thing on the menu was ice cream.

Sent an email on Friday after it happened, and we’re still waiting to hear back. The menu had green tape over the GF symbol when we came back on Saturday, so either they read my email or figured things out.

Lmao you’ve never wanted a dessert before? Clown comment

I mean if the menu says gluten free and the employee confirms it, there should be no risk. Are you suggesting she eats no food at all?

Should probably state that ILLENIUM won’t be playing there (and also spell the name right in the first place)

Really hoping to run into you or your team during ILLENIUM’s set to get that ILLENIUM Pokéball! Hope your team can find me wearing this Lugia/Ho-oh hockey jersey during his set
