It’s scary enough to dine out these days, what with the risk of cross-contamination and coeliac disease still not being taken seriously, let alone the fear of being glutened in the middle of a movie, inside a dark cinema, with stairs aplenty.
So we got in touch with some popular theatres to check whether their popcorn is gluten-free, to clear the air (figuratively and literally) once and for all.
Dendy Cinemas (New South Wales, Queensland, ACT)
“Our popcorn is both gluten-free and vegan, and is safe for coeliacs!”
Event Cinemas (Australia-wide)
“Unfortunately, our popcorn has salt and butter that may contain traces of gluten.”
Hoyts (Australia-wide)
“We are more than happy to confirm that our freshly made popcorn is in fact vegan-friendly and gluten-free!”
Village Cinemas (Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales)
“Our popcorn is 100% gluten-free!”
Always keep in mind that unpackaged items may come into contact with gluten-containing items in food-preparation areas.
