Subway is testing gluten-free sandwich buns and gluten-free brownies at 700 locations in Dallas and East Texas. If it is successful expect it to be available nationwide.
According to Celiac.Com and QSR Web the gluten-free sandwich buns and gluten-free brownies will come prepacked and individually wrapped. The same worker will prepare the sandwich from beginning to end and will be trained on how to cut the sandwich buns with a pre-wrapped knife for one time use, to avoid cross-contamination. The bread is made of egg whites, corn starch and tapioca starch. The brownie is made of potato starch, cocoa and sugar.

Subway was always one of my favorite places to eat before I found out that I am gluten intolerant. Now it seems that I might be able to eat there again. Now if we could just get Papa Murphy's to serve gluten-free pizza, Papa Murphy's is another favorite restaurant of mine that I wish I could eat at. We who are gluten intolerant and have celiac disease can contact restaurants and tell them that they need to have gluten free options in their menu and be persistent, they will get the idea.

ReplyDeleteIt's obvious they get it if they are having a single preparer and a gluten free area. I hope the trial goes well!I found you through Lucy's blog hop and I'm following with GFC, twitter and Facebook.

ReplyDeleteI've worked at Subway and remember wiping breadcrumbs from in-between the bins and cutting board on the assembly line. I also remember replacing empty veggie bins with full bins and noticing bread crumbs and cheese bits at the bottom of each bin. Even with the same preparer from start to finish, how can they possibly control the crumbs falling into their veggie bins from other sandwiches? These sandwich artists are fast/efficient at what they do, but bread crumbs will be bread crumbs.
