Dear Mrs. McKenzie,
Thank you for contacting On The Border regarding suitable menu items for guests with dietary restrictions. At On The Border, our top priority is always the safety and health of our guests. As part of this ongoing commitment, and in order to help our guests make informed food selections concerning allergies or food sensitivities, we are providing you with the most current allergen menu information available from our food suppliers.
We have compiled a list of suggested menu options to use when making your meal selections at On The Border. The list is based on the most up-to-date ingredient statements available from our food suppliers and the stated absence of wheat, rye, oats and barley within these items. This list expires on a MONTHLY basis, so please be sure to contact us for an updated version. Additionally, on your next visit to On The Border, please be sure to speak with the manager about your dietary restrictions. The manager will ensure that proper attention is given to your dietary restrictions as your meal is being prepared. Please be aware, however, that with normal kitchen operations involving shared preparation and cooking areas, including common fry oil, there is a small possibility for food items to come into contact with trace amounts of gluten.
Should you have any additional concerns or inquiries regarding our menu items, please do not hesitate to ask. We hope that you are able to choose a meal to your liking and look forward to serving you soon.
