Oregon Subways add gluten free menu options
For the estimated 16 million Americans with gluten sensitivity, eating out can pose a real challenge. Now, after a successful test in Bend and Portland, Subway restaurants across the state have begun rolling out gluten free sandwich options and gluten free brownies as regular menu items, according to Cathie Ericson, a spokeswoman for the chain. They join a growing number of mainstream restaurants offering gluten free options for diners.
Oregon is one of a handful of states where Subway is offering gluten free alternatives based on its reputation for mainstreaming food trends that might be niche alternatives elsewhere.
“For a variety of reasons, more and more people are avoiding gluten, but that really cuts down on fast-casual dining options, particularly sandwiches,” said Michele Shelley, Subway board member and owner. “Subway is known for being a leader in healthy fare, and we are excited to embrace these gluten free menu items for those who can benefit from them.”
Subway’s wheat-free sandwich rolls and brownies are produced in a gluten free facility and are individually packaged. Subway staffers are trained to prevent cross-contamination during the sandwich-making process. For example, one employee will prepare a gluten free sandwich order from start to finish. Other techniques include single-use knives and eliminating contact between traditional sandwich rolls and other ingredients including meat, cheese and vegetables.
