    I just went to Panera and tried to order from their gluten free menu…blank looks all around. They finally realized I meant the “power menu,” but didn’t have any copies of it. Rather than have him read off all the ingredients for all items (during a busy lunch hour), I ordered the strawberry salad. He said he’d be sure to say no bread items, and of course, no pecans. I assured him that pecans aren’t a problem. When I got my salad, it came with a side of…bread. Guess that memo didn’t come through? $12 for a salad and a medium drink, and the salad isn’t even that good. Don’t waste your time at Panera if you’re looking for gluten free.

      If the gentleman who posted the blog already informed everyone what was gluten free, then all you really need to do is order one of the choices in his list. As far as sides, you can choose bread, chips, or an apple whenever you go there. You just have to ask. And if they give you bread by mistake they will make sure to give you what you want in place of it. Also, Wendy’s now has a similar salad with strawberries, blueberries, grilled chicken, delicious strawberry vinaigrette dressing, and almonds on the side. I’m not sure how much of a price difference it will be but it is still pretty tasty. There is cheese on it though, so if you’re ok with that you should definitely try it.

      My wife has tried the. Greek salad with grilled chicken and feta as she needs to follow a gluten free diet. There seems to be a lot of confusion on the part of the workers in many of the panera shops regarding the need to be aware of these allergy concerns. It has lead to my wife being in excrutiating pain after consuming this! Gluten free? I have my concerns regarding to their sincerity to allergy matters! Just awful!

    When I discovered I was gluten-sensative, I wrote to Panera as it had been one of my places to eat. This was after I had ordered the tomato soup sans croutons and got croutons anyway. The response essentially was it’s really difficult to be gluten-free and I should continue coming there anyway because everybody likes Panera. I don’t think I’ve ever dealt with such corporate contempt. I haven’t walked into a Panera since that date, despite having eaten there at least twice per month before then. (I frequently got free stuff through their customer rewards card.) I recommend anyone with gluten issues to avoid the place completely.

      That email sounds like it was written by someone other than someone whom has to the power to do thing and influence people. To me that doesn’t mean I would never again go there. I would say to cross Panera off your list for a while, or keep writing them and say well that reply wasn’t very thought out if you want to keep customers, especially loyal ones.

      I went to Panera Bread for dinner tonight. I asked the cashier if they have a gluten-free menu and she looked at me with a blank stare. I told her I can’t have wheat, oats, barley etc. and she said she would find out what items are safe.
      She came back and hesitantly told me that the item I asked about specifically was gluten free. Then she asked me if I wanted bread with it…. What? I explained to her that I was recently diagnosed with a high gluten intolerance and showed her my eczema and told her I get very ill for a few days if I have gluten. I said NO bread please.
      Well, first they bring me the wrong order. I asked for the quinoa hot bowl and I got the quinoa salad. Then he offers to bring what I originally ordered and I ask if it’s gluten free and he says yes. I eat and leave. When I get home my stomach is cramping and my eczema has flared up. It was clearly not gluten free. I understand making mistakes but when it comes to health issues and the person tells you first thing that they have an allergy, please be respectful and take it seriously.

    I think their strawberry poppyseed chicken salad is one of the best salads I have ever eaten! I have to get it without the pineapples because I am allergic to them. When I requested without pineapples, the manager told me to make sure that whenever I order it to tell them it is for an allergy and they have to change their gloves. I imagine this would be the same for the gluten allergy. I have been gluten-free for two months, but not for an allergy or intolerance. I do not have celiacs. I do, however, have a daughter with the allergy and started eating this way to support her. It’s been a great change for me, but I can’t imagine having to be so strict like those of you with celiacs. I feel for you all!

    I’ve found your lists of GF menu choices for various restaurants most helpful, thank you.
    I want to share my Panera experience from lunch today. I informed the young man at the register that I would be ordering off the hidden menu, and my food needed to be GF. I placed my order for one of the Power salads (it was so good) and also the creamy tomato soup, no croutons. He said he wasn’t sure if the tomato soup was GF, so conferred with two managers, who right there looked it up. Awesome, right? I was pleased. When our food was ready, the prep line made a couple errors. The soup had croutons, and the salad had a hunk of bread on the tray. I advised the young woman working the line that my order was GF, and she was very responsive. She removed the trays, changed her gloves, and remade my lunch. Great service at my Panera in Tampa today!

        I received the same excellent service from the back of house in a Northern Florida location. A side of french baguette was listed on my ticket, in error — I wasn’t asked to select an item at the register, an excusable omission. The baguette merely sat in my bag atop the boxed salad, but the staff took care to remove the offending item, provide me with a new side item, bag, and cutlery. Lunch service was in full swing, and they acted quickly and compassionately.

        Now, if Panera can find a way to eliminate the wheat starch from the Power Breakfast Bowls, I’ll make my way there twice a day!

    Asked at Panera the other day if they had anything gluten free, and they practically laughed me out of the place! So glad to see that they in fact do have choices (I am going GF by choice, not because of a sensitivity) but for those who can’t have a speck of bread touch their food, you may be better off at a different place. Cross-contamination could be a huge problem at Panera.

    I just went to Panera’s hidden menu, and was SADDENED and shocked to find out that both their power bowl breakfasts…the steak and turkey have hidden GLUTEN! click on the ingredient list and see: ngredient List

    Power Breakfast Egg Bowl with Steak

    Pasteurized eggs, sirloin steak (beef top sirloin cap, seasoning [spice, dehydrated garlic, sea salt, canola oil]), tomatoes, avocado, salt, black pepper, wheat starch.

    the ONLY two items on the HIDDEN MENU that don’t contain gluten or carageenan (which causes inflammation) are the POWER MEDITERRANEAN ROASTED TURKEY and the POWER STEAK LETTUCE WRAPS
    check their menu out here:

    scary, because the wheat starch is NOT a necessary ingredient, and not one someone would think would be included!

    The Panerra in my city gave me choices of salads or a soup. The manager said the salads come off a bar prep area where they are layered together by the employee. If they have used the same gloves to put all the salad orders together before me, including on each previous order a handful of croutons, then of what use is it to change their gloves. The croutons have already been on the old gloves and those old gloves have been in every part of that salad bar prep area. Until our Panerra embraces a more allergen sensitive prep protocol, I will just enjoy their iced coffee!

    Just to reiterate the being an idiot comment left above–

    ‘Pan’ in panera means bread. Thus, going there and asking for gluten free is analogous to a Jew going in a concentration camp during the Holocaust and asking to not be killed.

    Why even step foot in this place having this condition? Guess it’s like seeing the doctors and nurses smoking ciggs on their breaks at the hospital. Humans are just stupid..time for what happened to the dinosaurs to happen

      Why? Because when family or friends want to get together over a meal I am part of a larger group. As a celiac I appreciate having a few options at Panera, I order very carefully, and thank everyone for helping me. My local Panera is very allergy-friendly, but I don’t expect perfection (or bread).

      Living gluten-free and the occasional accident is annoying, but life before diagnosis was it’s own hell. I have to do this the rest of my life. So what if I have to eat a salad at Panera? At least it’s not iceberg lettuce and a hard pink tomato like I’d get when dining out ten years ago. I get to enjoy time with friends. I even enjoy smelling the bread.

    Sorry to say, but Panera Bread is NOT Gluten sensitivity friendly. Not only because their mainstay is bread but becuase their staff are not trained, and quite frankly they have no interest in helping gluten sensitive customers. I recently visited a Panera Bread and after receiving blank stares when i asked about the gluten free menu, I asked to speak to the manager who informed me that Panera Bread will never cater to the gluten sensitive. Yes they have a few salads and soups (although even though their tomato soup has gluten in it! What’s up with that! When i said you really shouldn’t say NEVER because more and more of the population is discovering they are allergic to gluten and Panera Bread needs to be more progressive in their approach and understanding. Then i walked out. I plan to write Panera Bread corporate. At the very least their staff needs gluten sensitivity training. HaHa!

      That’s impossible. I work at Panera and have celiac disease (I worked there before I was diagnosed). All of Panera’s baked goods are baked on-site in a single oven. The baking area is full of crumbs and flour and the baking sheets aren’t washed after every single use. That’s why only pre-packaged items (chips, condiments, soups, sauces) and fresh fruits and vegetables can truly be gluten free (not including cross-contamination with gloves or scoops).

        Then maybe they should try cleaning… That’s pretty gross that counters and baking sheets are not cleaned after every use. Doesn’t make much sense either. A dirty baking sheet makes for burnt baking. And who wants crumbs from the last batch in there current batch? Not to mention, if you are using nuts in your baking, you may kill someone. Sounds like your place is not up to speed with health codes…

          This is simply not the case. Counters and cutting boards are sanitized several times an hour. The baking sheets are dropped off by a company and once they are all used, the company picks them up to clean them and drops off a clean set. The baking sheets are lined with parchment paper before each use. The restaurant is constantly being wiped, swept, and mopped but there is constant bread slicing, flour sprinkling, and dough rolling as well. There is a sign right in plain customer view that states that any product may have come into contact with wheat, eggs, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, etc. No one is trying to hide anything. Our restaurant always passes inspections by a landslide. The simple fact is that you cannot process glutenous and gluten-free products on the same equipment, regardless of how many times it was cleaned. It’s like this everywhere. Panera does not cater to, nor do they have to cater to, people with serious food allergies. Out of the thousands of customers every day, there is less than one person on average who mentions any kind of allergy. So it’s not worth it to Panera to have a separate gluten-free facility. Anyone with any kind of food allergy should know it is there responsibility to ask about the risk of contamination.

All they did was offer me a very limited list of what was gluten free, basically salads and tell me that there is no way they could ever do that because of cross contamination and facilities and their shipping procedures etc. I don’t see why they couldn’t at least form some relationship with a co like Udis and at least offer the option even if it’s not their own bread.

    You may want to reevaluate this list. The Mediterranean salad includes couscous which is obviously not gluten free. And the BBQ chicken, which WAS my absolute favorite, is no longer available 🙁 I used to also substitute anything with wonton strips with tortilla strips instead which they also no longer have! They have a new Thai salad which you need to avoid as the dressing contains soy sauce. Not happy with their new choices…

THE #1 DRESSING IN THE U.S. IN NO LONGER AVAILABLE??? Many people order sandwiches with RANCH instead of mayo or other toppings and it has been deleted??? You can get one salad with BBQ RANCH, but many people cannot handle BBQ as it causes stomach problems. We used to eat there often, as my daughter could get a few things that didn’t bother her severe allergies, but this is now off our list. Good-bye PANERA!!!

    My experience has been when I inform the order clerk I have a gluten allergy, they say, “this is a bakery and we cannot prevent wheat dust from contacting your food”. This has been a standard response at Panera shops in my area. They will try to not cross contaminate, but cannot promise food is gluten free. I have not eaten there in a long while. I may be 1% of the population, but my fellow diners go elsewhere when eating out with me, so it does impact their sales more than they realize.

    I am a four year employee of Panera bread and have worked both the cashier and food preparation. We are trained to warn guests that there is always a chance of cross contamination for legal purposes. I am recently gluten free due to an insensitivity and have found responsive employees at every location I visit. Inform them you need gloves changed and if your allergy is severe enough, request that they open new containers, and ALWAYS request this through the manager, Panera or not. Most employees are working as a high school part time job, OF COURSE they are not educated on extensive cross contamination issues, especially if they do not have the affliction. Also request dressings on the side as they wont mix them using the tongs for that dressing. I always request my food in to go packaging, just as an added precaution. Also inform the food preparers as well as the cashier, messages on the screens frequently become cut off.

    Just thought I would share from the other side.

    I went to Panera today and ordered the BBQ chicken salad and confirmed that it was gluten free. She got out a book and told me it was NOT gluten free. She gave me 2 salad options. That was it….

    No one at Panera has ever known what gluten is when I ask. I just had a cashier tell me that all there is in a certain salad is wheat, but no gluten. Ugh!! You just have to educate yourself before going in because they have no clue!!!

    To the author: Nobody has “gluten free” allergy. It’s a gluten allergy.

    Unless you have celiac disease, please don’t say you have a gluten allergy. I have celiac disease and it actually will make me deathly ill to consume any gluten whatsoever. It destroys the lining of my small intestines, i’ve ulcers in my mouth, throat, esophegus and lining of my stomach. Eventually for celiac sufferers, it can ruin our livers, kidneys and cause many other poor health conditions. People that just avoid gluten for fad reasons or dietary reasons make life so hard for people that truly have a serious illness, when they insist on saying they have an allergy and they really don’t. By the way, intollerance to gluten or gluten sensitivity are not considered allergies. Celiac disease is a autoimmune disorder where a persons antibodies attack there vital organs when consuming gluten. To have this problem, its truly altering and very few restrauants are safe enough when it comes to cross contamination, including Panera Bread. People with true illness know gloves can not be used in preparing the same foods, surfaces have to be thoroughly clean and croutons can not much as even touch any of the salad. No gluten whatsoever and there can’t be even a slight bit risk of cross contamination or you just don’t eat there. I can’t even kiss someone that has had gluten right after let alone cook in a toaster that has cook toast with gluten. Its a huge deal and most restaurants just don’t comply or realize the seriousness of it and they are completely suck and tired of it when people say they have an allergy and they are completely fine. It makes the lives of true sufferers hell.
