Subway Restaurants Announces Gluten-Free Rolls & Brownie Test Marketing


Scott Adams

7,369 views

Subway Restaurants is testing a gluten-free roll and gluten-free brownie in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Tyler/Longview, TX markets starting the week of January 10th. The gluten-free roll and brownie will give Americans with gluten sensitivities, gluten intolerances, and Celiac Disease another alternative to their diet.

All Subway gluten-free rolls and brownies being used during the test come prepackaged and individually wrapped. Sandwich Artists are instructed through a tutorial video to cut the roll with a pre-wrapped knife and only use once. The same sandwich artist will prepare the order from beginning to end, so only one set of hands will touch the sandwich, eliminating cross contamination. The process is very thorough to ensure a 100% gluten-free product. Extra measures are taken to ensure gluten does not contaminate other foodstuff such as meat, cheese, and vegetables.

We look forward to seeing Dallas-Fort Worth and East Texas residents take advantage of this new menu item during this testing period. Our hope is to offer gluten-free products nationwide.

Excellent service in DFW! They are VERY educated about celiac and exceptionally careful with all food preparation. I was pleasantly surprised - TRY IT!!!

I was in Texas last week visiting my Niece who works at Subway. I have an allergy to wheat, not celiac. But gluten free is good for me and she offered to make me a sandwich.

I went back for more.

They got the recipe for this bun right. I'm not sure what goes into it. It is a little more yellow than most breads. But it is light, fluffy and soft. None of the gritty texture that I am used to getting in wheat/gluten free baked products.

I would really like to see this product up in Canada.

Yeah, the brownie was pretty good too!

I recently ate both the gluten-free brownie and sandwich in the Ft. Worth test market area. Both very tasty. The sandwich makers followed stringent posted prep procedures as not to cross contaminate. Great move by Subway! Go national with that! There are a bunch more folks that will frequent your sandwich shops!

My mother in law asked a Subway employee about their gluten free products. During their conversation, the employee threw a piece of cheese from a wheat bread sandwich back into the cheese bin contaminating the entire bin. If my mother in law did not see the employee put the cheese back into the bin, there would have been no way to know about the contamination and we may have gotten sick. I bet none of the other employees knew about the contamination either and assumed the cheese was safe.

 

Subway CANNOT guarantee that each franchise will completely eliminate cross contamination. Why try so hard to prevent contamination of the bread from the factory to the store, if it's just going to be contaminated in the store using communal ingredients? Grabbing cheese from the middle of the stack? You still have to touch the contaminated outer layers before you touch the 'clean' inner slices.

My teenage daughter is VERY sensitive to gluten and can't handle any cross contamination. She has eaten at Subway several times and they have always gone out of there way to make her sandwiches in a completely different spot or have had the counter wiped and then the bun was put on double paper so no contact was made. they also used unopened meet and veggies and have cleaned off the condiment containers before using them. I have been very impressed the all of the subway restaurants here in South West Washington.
