From what I've heard about such gluten allergy is that just a tiny amount of non gluten free food can "poison a whole gluten-free meal, in such a way that people that are allergic t oit can simply die because of it. So I feel that is would be a strong case.

Earlier this year, McDonald's acknowledged that its hash browns and french fries, which the restaurant chain historically had reported as allergen-free, in fact may contain wheat and milk ingredients from the oil they are cooked in.

THey are even admitting it, so some kind of compesation would be in it's place.
