No GF items except a lettuce wrap, and they're a cross-contamination nightmare.

Let me start by saying any Jimmy John’s I go to I never get sick when I order their unwich ! The unwich is their only gluten free sandwich and I DO NOT miss the bread it is lettuce wrapped and seriously delicious I would suggest adding their oil and vinegar and some Italian seasoning they have makes the lettuce tastier ! They also have a gluten free potato salad and list everything on their app and website including any allergens and gluten !

The Unwiches are typically a safe thing to eat. Their cheese at Jimmy Johns contains wheat. As long as it’s made without their cheese, the unwiches are safe.
