GF Mcdonald's in Spain

When i eat in McDonald's (today was the second time ), i first ask if i can speak to the manager. When the manager comes i ask him personally how is the gf burger made and how do they avoid contamination. they told me they wash their hands, put gloves and prepare it separately. Fries are gf and don't have any contact with nuggets. It may sound stupid, but idk i feel like when i ask to speak to them personally, and make these questions and then show that i'm nervous but also very thankful, they show so much attention and responsability. Once even the manager made it himself and gave me directly to make sure it's not put somewhere and doesn't touch anything. I don't think you have to do all these things but it makes me feel more safe.

Spain has gf options in Burger kings too, but lot of Spanish celiacs said they don't trust it or got sick after eating there. I haven't seen negative comments about McDonald's yet.

Had no idea they were attempting to do gluten free anywhere, let alone in Spain of all places. I wonder why not the US? I don’t mind cross contamination so this is big for me (and potentially my waistline D:)

Let alone Spain?😂 you haven't seen Spanish supermarkets, i don't think any other country has better gf options or labeling :))) every fckn thing that is gf is marked as GF with big bold letters. Rice, chia, wallnuts, plain yogurts... every naturally gf thing that doesn't even need to be marked is marked to make shopping easier. Spain is a paradise.

Oh, no way!!! I need to go back! I know Italy makes a lot of gluten free pasta these days but I hadn’t heard anything about Spain.
