What is Gluten?
Outback Steakhouse is proud to be able to offer an extensive ‘Gluten Friendly’ menu for you to enjoy. We can ensure that items on this menu will be prepared to be ‘Gluten Friendly’ and contain ingredients which are Gluten Free. However, we do not operate in a Gluten Free kitchen environment. Most of our items are made from scratch and cross-contact with allergens can occur. If you are sensitive to or have an allergy to Gluten, we recommend you to review this menu with a qualified medical professional prior to consumption.
What is Coeliac Disease?
Coeliac Disease is an autoimmune disorder. Currently, there isn’t a treatment that can cure Coeliac Disease. Removing gluten from the diet, however, controls the disease and limits many of the related complications.
Are there any other gluten-related disorders?
The science behind gluten and its effect on the body is evolving and is being connected to many other disorders, including non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
How does Outback Steakhouse create its Gluten Friendly Menu?
Our team review each ingredient carefully to ensure that it can be used to create flavourful gluten-free dishes. From there, we work with our training team to teach the importance of understanding what gluten is, how to prepare gluten friendly menu items, and best ways to serve the needs of our gluten-free guests. It’s important that we execute our gluten friendly menu items flawlessly and understand the needs of our gluten-free guests from the minute they walk in the door to when they take their last bite.
Are Outback’s seasonings gluten-free?
Yes. All Outback seasonings are gluten-free.
Does Outback have a gluten-free kitchen?
We strive to offer gluten friendly menu options, but do not have gluten-free kitchens. Because our dishes are prepared-to-order, during normal kitchen operations, individual foods may come into contact with one another due to shared cooking and preparation areas. Thus, we cannot guarantee that cross-contact with foods containing gluten will not occur; however, we take every step possible to prevent this.
How does Outback reduce the risk of cross-contact with gluten?
Outback provides gluten-free education to all of its employees and has a protocol for each time a gluten friendly menu item is ordered. This includes: hand washing, glove changing, using clean cooking equipment and utensils, and special ordering instructions for our chefs.
Is a gluten-free diet healthful?
For people with Coeliac Disease, a gluten-free diet is essential because it is the only treatment. For those without Coeliac or other gluten- related disorders, a gluten-free diet can be a way to focus on increasing the consumption of healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, seafood, beans, nuts, healthy fats and naturally gluten-free whole grains like brown rice, amaranth, millet and quinoa. However, if not careful, a gluten-free diet can lack essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Also, be aware that some gluten-free products can contain more sugar and fat than its gluten-containing counterpart. Whether you need or choose to eat gluten-free, thoughtful planning and label-reading are essential components to a healthful gluten-free diet.
