Moe’s shares this question and answer about gluten on their FAQs page.
“Why are your corn chips and taco shells listed as containing gluten?
There is no gluten in our corn chips or corn tortillas. However, we do fry our chips and taco shells in-house. We also use the same fryer for our salad bowl, which is a fried flour tortilla (contains wheat gluten). Since they are being fried in the same oil, we have to list those items as containing gluten, due to cross-contamination in the fryer. Got it?”
