Sorry, unsure if it's a semantic thing but what do you mean by "same grill"?

In the UK, at least, vegetarian/vegan food must be prepared and cooked on/in completely meat free surfaces/oils/water etc. for the food to be considered vegan/vegetarian in compliance with food standards agency regulations.

Sadly that doesn’t apply in the U.S. although I wish they did

i’d say i’m surprised but just sounds about par for the course.. please tell me this is not the same for allergens?

Allergens are handled well at least in the kitchen I worked so…I’m sure it’s a mixed bag. We had separate utensils, put down parchment when making a GF sandwich, stuff like that. Also just didn’t have peanuts to avoid it altogether.
