Gluten-Free New Zealand
New Zealand's list is short but honest. Coeliac NZ runs a small accredited dining programme, Christchurch has a bakery that calls itself 100% gluten-free, and Auckland's dedicated spots come with the kind of plain-spoken labelling the rest of the world could learn from. Note for porridge fans: AU/NZ law doesn't allow oats to be labelled gluten-free at all; we flag

Dedicated
100% gluten-free facility: no gluten on site. How to Gluten Free sets the gold ★ from the venue's own published words.
GF-serving
A shared kitchen that offers gluten-free: residual cross-contact risk depends on their handling.
Evidence chips
Precise, filterable facts: accreditation (AOECS · DZG · Coeliac UK), documented protocol, dedicated fryer, trained staff, GF menu.

Before you go
Kitchens change: menus, owners, fryers, staff. Evidence dates tell you when we last saw proof, not what is true today. Always confirm directly with the venue at the time of your visit, say explicitly that it's coeliac disease, and trust your own questions over any listing, including ours.
