The Firehouse Subs allergen menu tracks eleven declared allergens across 149 items in eleven menu sections. Milk turns up on more rows than any other allergen, mostly from the cheese, dressings and baked goods layered into each build. Reading the item-by-item tables below is the fastest way to check one specific sub or topping.
Every row states declared allergens and nothing else, exactly as the source lists them for that item. A blank line in the source is never read as an all-clear on its own. Firehouse Subs states only what its own listing declares for that item, and nothing broader.
The short answer
The Firehouse Subs allergen menu covers 149 items across eleven sections, and each row states only what that item’s own listing declares. No figure here is inferred from an ingredient’s name or a sandwich’s build. Milk and wheat are the two most common allergens across the whole board.

Firehouse Subs Allergen Menu Item by Item
Every item below keeps the exact wording the Firehouse Subs allergen menu uses for that row. Eleven distinct allergens appear across the page, led by milk from cheese and dressings and wheat from bread and breading. Firehouse Subs keeps its pricing elsewhere, on a separate page rather than mixing it into this allergen-only grid.
Subs at Firehouse Subs
Every one of the 26 Subs declares both milk and wheat, tracing to the cheese and the bread under each build. Engineer carries the widest allergen list of the group, naming eggs, gluten, milk, nitrates, seeds, soy, sulfites, wheat and a fish may-contain note. Veggie carries that same fish may-contain note, tied to the Au Jus Mushrooms topping rather than to any meat.
Meatball runs the shortest list of the 26, limited to gluten, milk, soy and wheat. It also anchors a couple of off-menu builds covered elsewhere on this site.

Dairy-Free Options at Firehouse Subs
Milk does not appear in the declared list for 79 of the 149 items on the Firehouse Subs allergen menu. Sides & Chips contributes the largest share, with 22 of its 34 items clear of milk, mostly the plain chip bags and fries. Sub Components adds most of the rest, led by 14 of the 15 meats and 16 each of the toppings and condiments. All four bread rolls qualify too, alongside four of the six Salad Dressings.
None of the 26 Subs, the five Kid’s Subs or the eight Salads qualify. Cheese or a milk-based dressing sits on every one of those builds instead. All six Sub Components cheeses carry milk by definition, whatever the variety. A guest avoiding dairy is better served building from the Sub Components list directly than ordering a named sandwich as printed.
Ordering Gluten-Free at Firehouse Subs
Wheat does not appear in the declared list for 95 of the 149 items on the Firehouse Subs allergen menu. That is the largest of the two dietary groups covered on this page. Every Salad and every Salad Dressing qualifies, since neither bread nor a breaded topping touches either list.
Two of the four bread options break from the rest of that group. The Gluten Free Ciabatta Roll and Gluten Free Hoagie Roll both skip wheat, unlike the two standard sub rolls beside them. Sides & Chips contributes 22 more, mostly plain chips, fries and the Chili.
None of the 26 Subs or the five Kid’s Subs qualify as printed, since a standard wheat roll sits under every one of those builds. Ordering on a Gluten Free roll instead removes the wheat, though the roll itself still carries seeds and, on the Ciabatta version, sesame. Fourteen of the 15 Sub Components meats and most of the toppings and condiments round out the list, unaffected by bread at all.
Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Firehouse Subs
The Firehouse Subs allergen menu still assumes a kitchen that runs on shared counters and shared equipment. A menu item made without a declared allergen can still pick one up through cross-contact with whatever else is moving through the same line. Bread rolls, meats and cheeses are sliced and toasted on shared boards and ovens behind the same counter.
A sandwich built to avoid one allergen can still meet it through contact with another during assembly. Telling a team member about a serious allergy before ordering covers what the Firehouse Subs allergen menu cannot. Prep and ingredient sourcing can vary from one location to the next.
