Sauces, fryers, and “safe-looking” dishes can still contain gluten. Here’s what to watch for — and how BiteRight helps.
Most soy sauce is brewed with wheat. It shows up in marinades, fried rice, stir-fries, and dressings. Always ask: “Is this made with gluten-free tamari?” BiteRight’s soy sauce guide and menu scan flag this automatically.
French fries, tempura, and other “naturally” gluten-free items are often cooked in the same oil as breaded foods. Cross-contamination is real. We flag “shared fryer” in Coeliac Safe Mode so you can ask for a dedicated fryer or skip the item.
Malt is usually from barley. It appears in some breakfast cereals, malt vinegar on chips, and certain beverages. Our app and malt vinegar guide call this out.
Teriyaki, hoisin, oyster sauce, and many gravies use wheat flour or soy sauce. Scan the menu with BiteRight before ordering — we highlight risky dishes and suggest what to ask the kitchen.
Oats are often processed with wheat. Unless they’re certified gluten-free, treat them as a risk. We consider this in our analysis when you’re in Coeliac Safe Mode.
Scan menus and plates in seconds. BiteRight’s AI checks ingredients and prep so you get a clear green / yellow / red result. Try it free for 3 days. Cancel anytime.
