Hi,
I am sorry to have to point out this, but wursts and french fries (it doesn't matter if sold on the street or not) might contain gluten. 
Here is a link to the web page, where the German Coeliac Association states this:
http://www.dzg-online.de/hier-kann-gluten-enthalten-sein.30.0.html
I translate from German for you:
Verstecktes Gluten (Hidden gluten)
Es kann enthalten sein in: (It can be contained in)
* Pommes Frites (French fries)
...
* Wurst, Würstchen (Sausages, small sausages)

We coeliacs living in Germany have to look up Wursts and french fries in the gf food list of the German Coeliac Society, or we have to inquire the producers about ingredients and cross contamination.
Sincerely,
Maria Paola
Munich, Germany
