Is it Safe to Eat at Jersey Mike’s if You Have Celiac Disease?

Yes, Jersey Mike’s is actually one of the safest fast food restaurants for people with Celiac disease.

As stated on the Jersey Mike’s website:

Jersey Mike’s team members wear new gloves when handling the rolls and use knives and other utensils that haven’t touched other bread products when slicing the gluten free rolls. They also prepare gluten-free subs on parchment paper to avoid contact with gluten.

The website also says they thoroughly train every team member on how to prepare gluten-free sandwiches. Clearly, they are serious about satisfying their gluten-free customers!

Does Jersey Mike’s Have Gluten-Free Bread?

Jersey Mike’s also has some gluten-free chip options. To be safe, stick to lays, cheetos and doritos.

You can see here that some of the Miss Vickies chips contain malted barley extract. Barley is a gluten-containing grain so they’re not gluten-free.

  1. Thank you for your blog regarding Jersey Mike’s non-gluten choices. I have a grandchild that is vegetarian and gluten free because she is allergic to multiple items. I believe I have negotiated the best options at my home, but when she is with me and we wish to go to a fast food place it is quite difficult to find a place that we feel is safe from gluten and caters to her needs for some vegetarian choices as well. Can you please tell me if you have addressed this at various other restaurants? Do you have any suggestions that will help us be able to discover what is actually available at restaurants without the worry that the location might not actually know and practice safety for gluten and other allergens?

    1. Hi Pam! I have many other restaurant guides on my website. You can see they linked in my post – I hope they’re helpful! It’s never a for sure guarantee they’ll know how to make things safe. Places like Jersey Mike’s with company-wide protocols make it easier. You always have to ask the actual people working there though. I hope this helps!

  2. I have never eaten at a Jersey mikes. Do they have condiments individually packaged for someone with allergies. As a celiac looking at the photo with the container of Mayo and a shared knife makes me rather nervous.
    Do t get me wrong I’d love to try a new place to eat but I also don’t want to risk getting sick.

    1. Great question! I get nervous about shared spreaders too. Luckily they use squirt bottles for the condiments if you ask for gluten-free!
