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!

Items are not clearly labeled as gluten free or friendly. Caution, their soy sauce has wheat

Panera was not good at all when I asked them about gluten free options. Only good option they offered was salad.

Disappointed that they don’t bother to have more gluten free choices. Due to having multiple dietary restrictions i can only have salad and like one soup. There salads are good but sometimes I want a sandwich or soup they put wheat as a thickener in a lot of them. Like their broccoli cheddar one, which I used to love before switching to a gluten free diet.

I got their salad as it’s pretty much one of the only options there. And once I got to the bottom of the bowl I found a crouton :(
