Staff Communication Tips
Here’s exactly what to say when ordering:
“I’m following a low FODMAP diet. Can I please have [burger name] on a gluten-free bun, with plain mayo only, and no onion? I need to avoid all other sauces.”
Grill’d staff are generally well-trained on dietary requirements. If they seem unsure, mention that Grill’d has a Low FODMAP section on their allergen guide.
The Chips Are Safe!
Great news - Grill’d chips (fries) are cooked in a dedicated gluten-free fryer, separate from any breaded items. This makes them safe for FODMAP dieters concerned about cross-contamination.
The Herbed Chips contain herbs and spices but no onion or garlic in the standard recipe. If you’re very sensitive, you can ask about the specific herb blend.
What About Salads?
If you want a salad instead of chips:
Safe toppings:
- Lettuce
- Carrot
- Beetroot
