Quiznos

Updated 2018! Quiznos is a fast food chain that specializes in toasted submarine sandwiches. They once had nearly 5000 stores, but after the recession, more than half of them closed. They now have over 2000 restaurants globally with a heavy concentration of locations in the U.S. and Canada. The list below covers these two countries with special (CA) notations for Canadian-only options. The menus are fairly similar with just slight variations. We were unable to locate allergen information for other countries.

Other Allergen Notes: Pretty much all of their menu sandwiches come with cheese on them, but you can ask to omit it and make other dairy-free substitutions, if needed. Just keep in mind that their grill press probably sees a lot of cheese on it in a day. You may opt for a cold sub instead. A few surprise items in the U.S. contain dairy, like the Acai Vinaigrette and Au Jus. But it looks like the Au Jus in Canada is free of dairy. Their allergen chart goes above and beyond with Unrefined Oil, Grains, Seeds, Sulfites, MSG, Colorings, and other ingredients referenced. Quiznos Canada does seem to offer Gluten-Free Bread, but it doesn’t appear to be available in the U.S. yet.
