What is gluten?

Gluten is a protein found in most wheat products, and acts as the “glue” that helps to hold wheat, barley, kamut, spelt, farro, durum, bulgur, rye, and semolina together to maintain their shape.

Gluten is naturally occurring, and therefore is impossible to strip away from the grain. If a grain naturally has gluten in it, there’s no way to make that food gluten-free.

Where can you find gluten in food?

Gluten can be found in the form of wheat and grain products, like bread, pasta, pizza crust, or flour in the more obvious places.

You can also find gluten as a binding ingredient, an ingredient added for texture like to make food more crispy, or as a thickening agent.

Where can you find gluten in restaurants?

Depending on the restaurant you’re visiting, you may find gluten in a variety of places.

At fast food restaurants, there will be gluten in hamburger buns, the breading of crispy chicken sandwiches or chicken nuggets, some French fries, salad dressings, croutons on salad, and chili or soup options.

At other restaurants, you’ll find gluten in flour in sauces, in pizza or other pastry dough, pasta, and as a thickener in some soups.

Where gluten is found in the menu items will vary from restaurant to restaurant. That’s why it’s always a good idea to review menus from home, and see if you can find any allergen information before you get to the restaurant itself.

Being able to review nutritional information and allergen statements before visiting a fast food restaurant can be the difference between ordering something that you think is safe for your gluten-free diet and getting sick.

Being knowledgeable about what specific menu items you’ll be able to eat without any worries of later reactions is crucial to sticking with your gluten-free diet.

Domino’s allergen disclaimer

On the Domino’s Allergen Information page, this is the disclaimer that they share:

“Domino’s pizza made with a Gluten Free Crust is prepared in a common kitchen with the risk of gluten exposure. Therefore, Domino’s DOES NOT recommend this pizza for customers with celiac disease. Customers with gluten sensitivities should exercise judgment in consuming this pizza.”

What you need to know about the gluten-free options at Domino’s

Domino’s has a full page on their website dedicated to their gluten-free crust and information for folks who are trying to follow a gluten-free diet. They have a full list of all the items in their kitchens and restaurants that contain gluten, as well as a list of FAQ’s regarding their gluten-free crust.

Here’s what you need to know:

Domino’s does offer a gluten-free pizza crust option. Their crust is made with water, modified rice starch, brown rice flour, potato starch, olive oil, potato flour, evaporated cane sugar, fresh yeast, honey, Avicel, salt, and calcium propionate.

Their gluten-free pizza crusts are not made in house. All Domino’s gluten-free crusts are manufactured in a dedicated gluten-free facility. These facilities and the crusts that are made here are tested regularly to ensure that they contain less than 20ppm, as required by the FDA to be in compliance with the laws that they can claim they are “gluten–free.”

While the Domino’s gluten-free pizza crusts are tested and considered gluten-free while outside of the restaurant, once they are opened and turned into pizzas in the kitchens, they are subject to cross contamination and gluten exposure.

Since Domino’s uses gluten in their other crusts, flour for dusting pizzas, and in other pizza toppings, there is a high likelihood that even the gluten-free pizza crusts will come into contact with gluten during the making of your gluten-free pizza.

The Domino’s company makes no claims that any pizza that comes out of their kitchen or restaurant is truly gluten-free, so keep this in mind if you have celiac disease and cannot tolerate any amount of gluten, even from cross contact or exposure.

Folks who are intolerant to gluten may still be able to eat Domino’s gluten-free pizzas, but keep in mind that there is still a chance that you will have a reaction simply due to the nature of cross contact in the restaurant. Use your best judgment based on what you know about your body and how it reacts to gluten before ordering from this restaurant.

From personal experience, I have had Domino’s twice in my 9 years of being gluten-free, and both times I’ve had huge reactions to gluten. Everyone is different, but I feel like it’s worth sharing my own experience here.

What to know about cross contamination at restaurants

Most fast food and carryout restaurants are not considered gluten-free establishments so it’s useful to keep this in mind when making decisions about where to go and what to order.

It’s important to know that even if a fast food restaurant claims that their menu items do not contain gluten, that the possibility and probability of gluten in their products is going to be high if there is even one menu item with gluten available.

Depending on your level of sensitivity to gluten, this can be make or break information for you.

If you are Celiac and are allergic to trace amounts of gluten, you’ll likely want to avoid most fast food restaurants that offer any bread products or French fries that are cooked in a shared fryer with other gluten-containing ingredients.

If you are not sensitive to gluten at the trace level and have adverse reactions to gluten due to a food intolerance, you may decide that these trace amounts of gluten from cross contamination are worth risking for a quick, easy, and convenient food option.

Being aware of how you have reacted to gluten in your diet in the past and how much gluten it takes for your body to react is useful knowledge when it comes to situations like these.

Use your best judgment about what you know about your body, how you react to gluten, and what the risks are for you specifically.
