What is Silly Yak?
Silly Yak Perth is an independent directory designed to help you discover gluten-free businesses and make more informed choices about where to eat.
We categorise businesses based on their gluten-free offerings and the information available about their practices.
What do the three categories mean?
1. 100% Gluten Free
These are businesses that list themselves as 100% gluten free on their own website. This information reflects the business's own claims and has not necessarily been confirmed by Silly Yak.
2. Coeliac Certified
These businesses are Certified with Coeliac Australia. This certification provides an additional level of assurance for people looking for gluten-free options.
3. Coeliac Conscious
These are businesses we have contacted directly and asked to answer a number of questions about their gluten-free practices and procedures.
We follow up regularly with these businesses to confirm they are still following the same processes. This helps us keep our information up to date and gives our community more insight into how businesses manage gluten-free food and minimise cross-contamination.
How does Silly Yak confirm a Coeliac Conscious business?
We contact businesses directly and ask them to answer questions about their gluten-free practices, including how they manage food preparation and the risk of cross-contamination.
We do not certify venues as coeliac-safe, and our listings should not be taken as a guarantee that cross-contamination cannot occur.
Our listings are based on the information provided by each business. While we aim to keep this information current, we cannot independently guarantee that every practice is always followed.
We follow up regularly with these businesses to confirm their processes remain the same.
Why should I check a business's category?
Each category represents a different source or level of information about a business's gluten-free offerings and practices.
Understanding the categories helps you make an informed decision about where to eat and which businesses may best meet your needs.
Our goal is simple: to make finding gluten-free options easier, clearer and more transparent.
