# ONLY, ALSO, ASK — SenzaFind labels > ONLY, ALSO, and ASK classify the offering — documented dedicated gluten-free, documented gluten-free options alongside gluten, or evidence that you may need to ask. They are not a safety score, not a certification, and not a substitute for verifying current options and preparation with the venue. Places without enough evidence are not listed. ## ONLY ONLY means we have documentation that the place is set up as a dedicated gluten-free operation. It describes the offering we can point to — not a medical verdict about your plate. - **Is:** A documented dedicated gluten-free operation. The word ALWAYS sits on the badge; color alone is not enough. - **Is not:** “Celiac-safe,” certified, or a promise of no cross-contact. ONLY is not a SenzaFind safety seal. - **Example:** A bakery or trattoria whose public materials document a dedicated gluten-free operation — still verify on the day you go. - **When to use:** Use ONLY when you want places documented as dedicated gluten-free operations, then still verify with the venue. ## ALSO ALSO means the place serves regular gluten and we have documentation of gluten-free options as well — often a marked menu. It is a classification of the offering, not a ranking of how careful the kitchen is. - **Is:** Regular gluten plus documented gluten-free options. Source type and recency sit with the claim. - **Is not:** A score, a ranking, or a promise of a dedicated fryer, separate prep, or zero cross-contact. - **Example:** A restaurant that lists gluten-free pasta on an official menu and also serves wheat pasta. Read what is documented, then ask about current preparation. - **When to use:** Use ALSO when marked gluten-free options matter and you will still decide dish by dish with the venue. ## ASK ASK means we have evidence that gluten-free may be available if you ask — for example a hotel breakfast that can be requested. It is not a stand-in for “we don’t know.” Places without enough evidence stay off the public board; they are not relabelled ASK. - **Is:** Evidence that gluten-free may be available if you ask. Treat it as a conversation to have, with a phrase card if you need one. - **Is not:** “We don’t know,” “probably fine,” a hidden gluten-free menu, or a soft pass. ASK is not a green light. - **Example:** A hotel whose materials suggest breakfast can be adapted if you ask. Confirm with the desk; do not treat the label as a booking guarantee. - **When to use:** Use ASK when you are willing to ask, and skip places that do not have enough evidence to be listed at all.
