I work at Panera and I would say it is not celiac safe. I have celiac and the only thing I get it the turkey chili because it's one of the only gluten free soups. The salad is cross contaminated and there is flour in the air a lot. The broccoli cheddar soup is NOT gluten free. The only reason I feel safe eating the turkey chili is because we bag boil and they all have separate ladles and covers. And if you do get the soup ask for it packaged to go because the for here bowls get contaminated. Overall, if you have to go to panera get the turkey chili during fall and winter, and get the Thai chicken soup during the spring and summer (they use tamari soy sauce in it).

Panera uses gluten in almost all their salad dressings and soups. Totally unsafe to eat their foods. Not to mention cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Panara is a good place for those who like salad and soup. Most of the soups are gf, and the broccoli cheddar soup, that most places out flour in it, has barely any flour at all! The staff is nice, and you can get the salad without the croutons. The only thing I don’t like is they don’t have gf bread. Other than that, I recommend this restaurant to everybody!

A safe option would be their mango smoothie and green goddess chicken Cobb salad. Both are very good. They don't have many gluten free options and I'm not sure how safe they are about cross contamination.

Not completely gluten free, but when I told the woman “gluten allergy” she said the salads and a soup do not have gluten ingredients. She said they change gloves/use clean utensils and called it back as a “sideline.” I was eating in but they packaged it in a plastic to go with a lid to keep it separate.

Terrible the lady at the register wouldnt even look into gluten free. She said we don't do that here. Like I was trying to get anything GF and she wouldn't even bother helping me or asking. But would help the next lady with her food allergy

I ordered the green goddess salad which is gluten free. But got sick after eating. I think it's a bit or miss thing due to cross contamination. But I won't eat there again.
