Many of our guests at Acme Theatres have inquired about our popcorn and dietary considerations such as the presence of gluten. We understand the importance of this information for those with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or other dietary preferences. We are committed to providing transparent and helpful information to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests.
Is Our Popcorn Gluten-Free?
Yes, the popcorn kernels we use at Acme Theatres are gluten-free.
Our standard popcorn is popped with oil that does not contain gluten, and the kernels themselves are naturally gluten-free. It is a whole grain and does not contain gluten, which is found in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye.
Cross-Contamination Measures
While the popcorn itself is gluten-free, we take the potential for cross-contamination very seriously. We have the following procedures in place to minimize this risk:
- Dedicated Popping Stations: We pop our popcorn at specific stations that are designated solely for this purpose.
- Routine Cleaning Protocols: We have rigorous cleaning protocols to ensure our equipment and serving stations are sanitized.
- Employee Training: Our staff members are trained on the importance of handling food items to prevent cross-contamination.
Seasonings and Butter Toppings
The gluten-free status can change once various toppings or flavorings are added to the popcorn. Here’s what you need to know about our additional offerings:
- Butter Topping: Most of our theaters provide a buttery topping that is also gluten-free, but please check with the staff at your local Acme Theatre for confirmation, as product selections can vary by location.
- Seasonings: We offer a variety of seasoning shakes, some of which may contain gluten. Ingredient listings are available upon request, so please speak to a member of our staff for more details.
Pre-Packaged Snacks
Acme Theatres also offers a variety of pre-packaged snacks. Please read the packaging for ingredient and allergen information or ask one of our team members for assistance.
Special Considerations
Guests with severe sensitivities or allergies should evaluate their individual level of risk and determine their best course of action. Cross-contamination can occur, and we cannot guarantee that any of our products are safe for individuals with gluten allergies or celiac disease.
