Subway Allergen Menu and Ingredients

Subway allergen menu

The Subway allergen menu names egg, milk, soy, wheat and gluten, fish, sesame, sulfites and mustard against each item. Wheat and gluten reach every sandwich through the bread itself. Swap that bread for a tortilla or a bed of greens and both usually fall away, so format matters more here than filling.

Milk reaches almost every row, and egg most of them. Only the Tuna builds declare fish, and only Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki declares sesame. Mustard shows up on the honey mustard builds and on the Turkey and Ham Protein Pocket.

The short answer

The Subway allergen menu declares egg, milk, soy, wheat and gluten, fish, sesame, sulfites and mustard item by item. Bread puts wheat and gluten on every sandwich. Wraps, protein bowls and salads drop the bread and shorten the list. Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki adds sesame wherever it turns up.

Subway Allergen Menu Item by Item

The Subway allergen menu works from the recipe, so one row covers an item at whatever length it is ordered. A 6-inch and a Footlong share a single declaration, which is why no size appears below. Toppings and sauces chosen along the line sit outside these rows.

Format changes the answer more than filling does. Cold Cut Combo declares wheat and gluten as a sandwich and leaves both behind as a salad, because the bread was what brought them. Reading down one format table is the quicker way to compare.

Subway Sandwich Allergens

Bread puts wheat and gluten on all twenty-five of these, whatever goes inside. Soy joins them on every row as well. Tuna is the only sandwich declaring fish, and Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki the only one declaring sesame from the sauce that names it. The same subs appear with Subway sub prices and calorie counts.

Subway Fresh Fit Allergens

Fresh Fit builds stay short. Soy along with wheat and gluten come from the bread, and Turkey and Ranch Delite is the one adding egg and milk on top. Both avocado builds stop there.

Subway Protein Pocket Allergens

Protein Pockets keep their lists short. Milk sits on all four and soy on two of them. Baja Chicken and Italian Trio both declare sulfites, while Turkey and Ham is the one naming mustard. Asking by description works here as it does for the off-menu builds.

Subway Breakfast Allergens

Egg and milk reach all eight breakfast rows, egg arriving from the omelette patty and milk from the cheese folded in beside it. The four subs add soy and wheat and gluten from the bread beneath them. The four wraps hold on to soy and let the wheat go.

Subway Wrap Allergens

A tortilla lifts wheat and gluten off most of the wraps on the Subway allergen menu. Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Wrap and Veggie Patty Wrap are the two holding on to both. Milk is declared on twenty of the twenty-one rows here, and Subway rolls exactly the same fillings a sub would otherwise take.

Subway Protein Bowl Allergens

Protein bowls leave the bread out, so wheat and gluten fall away from all but three of them. Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, Meatball Bowl and Veggie Patty Bowl each keep the pair. Milk covers twenty-one of the twenty-two rows on this part of the Subway allergen menu.

Subway Salad Allergens

Greens take the place of the bread, which shortens most of these lists to egg and milk. Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Salad, Meatball Salad and Veggie Patty Salad still declare wheat and gluten. Tuna Salad is the only salad naming fish.

Dairy-Free Options at Subway

Subway allergen menu entries clear milk from ten builds across sandwiches, wraps and bowls. The B.L.T. sandwich stands alone among regular sandwiches, joined by its wrap, bowl and salad versions. Three Fresh Fit options add to the list: Grilled Chicken and Avocado, Ham and Turkey Stacker, and Seasoned Steak and Avocado.

Three kids’ options also skip dairy: Black Forest Ham, Oven-Roasted Turkey and Veggie Delite for Kids. Every other sandwich, wrap and bowl on the menu lists milk somewhere in its build.

Ordering Gluten-Free at Subway

Subway pushes most of its gluten-free eating toward bowls and salads instead of bread. Twenty salads and nineteen protein bowls make up the bulk of the wheat-free menu. Nineteen wraps add further variety for diners avoiding wheat.

Four protein pockets and four breakfast wraps round out the wheat-free choices. Every standard sandwich falls out of the running because its bread is made with wheat. Bowls and salads remain the safest order for anyone avoiding gluten.

Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at Subway

Subway assembles every order along one open counter where bread crumbs travel freely. The Subway allergen menu describes a build rather than the surface it crossed, because the same tongs and spreaders move between proteins, cheeses and vegetables. Subway keeps wheat on the board at every store.

Subway bakes its bread in-store, and the oven and racks serve every loaf. Staff can change gloves, take a fresh knife and build on clean paper when asked. No open sandwich line can promise a sub free of all contact with wheat.

Subway Allergen Menu FAQs

Every sandwich in the first table declares wheat and gluten, because the bread brings both. Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki, Meatball and Veggie Patty hold on to them in bowl and salad form too. Breakfast subs, Fresh Fit builds and the kids sandwiches declare them as well.
