Some of you may be aware of this, but I was totally shocked to learn 
this today from the manager at a Wendy's in northeastern PA.

After ordering I told the manager I was glad they have baked potatoes, 
and also that they fry their french fries separate from their breaded 
items like chicken.  He asked me to come to the side and told me if I 
have allergen concerns, I should know that they do have two fryers 
dedicated to french fries, and one dedicated to chicken nuggets and 
such.  But each night they screen the oil, and the oil gets mixed.  So 
the oil in the french fryer today could have been all or in part used in 
the chicken nugget fryer yesterday.

I was under the impression they were separate, and that Wendys used a 
different kind of oil for the fries, but the mgr. there said no.   I 
have had continuing digestive issues, and one of the places I could have 
been getting gluten was from Wendy's fries apparently.  I don't know if 
this is the practice for all the restaurants or just this location and 
plan to contact the company.

Does anyone on the list have definitive information about this?

Thanks
Paula in PA
