Sonic takes minimal precautions against cross-contamination. Even ‘gluten-free’ grill items are prepared in the same area as items containing.
Because of our reliance on suppliers for accurate information, shared cooking and preparation areas in our kitchens, and cooking procedures, we cannot eliminate the risk of cross-contact or guarantee that any item is free of any allergen and no items are certified gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan.
