Review of Jersey Mike's Subs

When I asked the staff how they handle Gluten Free they asked “preference or allergy?” If it is a food preference they take no precautions but continue to handle the gluten free products with cross-contaminated gloves. He also told me they use the same set of toppings for regular or gluten free because “we don’t touch the toppings with the bread.” When I pointed out that they’re touching the bread with their hands and then touching the toppings, which cross-contaminates the toppings the guy shrugged and said “we haven’t had anyone complain yet.” He made it clear that he really didn’t care what happened to people he served. As I was leaving, someone came in with an allergy, so I decided to observe the process. While I was there and I watched the guy take off his gloves and proceed to wipe the counter down with a dirty rag. Then he took the dirty cross-contaminated rag and wiped down the meat slicer. He did this all with his bare hands and never even washed his hands once. Then, with un-gloved hands, he proceeded to handle the gluten bread on the bread rack while looking for a gluten free bun. Without washing his hands, he then located and handled the gluten free bun. I not only question their gluten free handling process but the establishment’s general hygiene practices. If you have Celiac or Gluten intolerance, or just like sanitary food prep, stay away from this place.

Celiac friendly?

No
