One would think that brown rice is GF but if you look closer at ingredients - may contain soy and wheat. It’s a shame that as newly diagnosed with celiac, Panera is no longer an option.
Not good knowledge and no way they are able to keep gluten out of the air when they make all bread onsite
No
While it seems odd to look for gluten-free choices at a chain with "bread" in its name, there are a few choices here, and the kitchen makes every effort to avoid cross-contamination. The tomato soup (sans croutons) and several of the salads allow those with gluten allergies to join their friends for lunch or dinner. They do not have gluten-free bread or rolls for the sandwiches. I wouldn't make it a regular stop, but if your friends really like Panera, at least you can join them.
No
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.
