    Subway Freshens Up their Menu with Even More Dairy-Free Options

    17
    By Alisa Fleming on January 15, 2023 Fast Food Restaurants

    Updated January 2023! After decades of loyalty to their classic bread recipes, Subway unveiled new “white” and “wheat” breads last year. Don’t worry, they’re still dairy-free! In fact, they’ve changed sources for some additional menu items, making them dairy-free, too. In lockstep, we revamped our whole Subway dairy-free menu guide. And we’ve added notes for egg-free, gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, and vegan guests. But please note that this guide is for the U.S. specifically. Options and ingredients may vary in other countries, so be sure to verify your needs are met when ordering.

    Subway Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options

    Subway Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options

    This menu guide includes dairy-free menu options first, followed by custom order components. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks. Please note that this guide is for the U.S. locations. Options may vary in other countries.

    No Cheese Please! Several menu items below do not automatically come with cheese. But some some staff members might be on cheese autopilot. Be sure to clarify no cheese when ordering.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: On request, most Subway employees have been trained to change their gloves, use a clean knife, and place a fresh wrapper between your sandwich and the work station to help minimize allergen cross contamination. All of the following Subway items are made without peanuts and tree nuts. We have labeled any components (breads, meats, sauces, etc) that contain gluten or eggs to help you custom order. Many items at Subway do contain soy, but it is often refined soy oil or lecithin. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

    New Subway Menu: In summer of 2022, Subway introduced a “new menu.” The changes are more about new sandwich creations and a new way of ordering. It does not appear they have changed the components they offer in any notable way. But we have the current dairy-free details covered below.

    Subway Series

    • #1 The Philly (no cheese)
    • #3 The Monster (no cheese, sub dairy-free sauce)

    It’s easy to order allergen-free meals, with the help of guidelines or in person with the help of employees. Subway is very conscious of special diet needs or preferences.

    Great article, you can avoid milk at Subway easily!

    Thanks for this article, it is very accurate and there’s nothing worse than getting very sick from a small ingredient with milk. If you don’t get your subs toasted, you can always take out the cheese afterwards too because it won’t be melted in. The condiments and dressings part of this post are really good, it’s the sauces that always gets me.

      There is dairy in the eggs. 2% dry milk.

      • Alisa Fleming on August 31, 2018 8:02 am

        Hi Hayley, yes there is in the regular egg omelet. That isn’t on our list above. The Egg White Patty and the Egg Salad are both milk free and the only two egg items on our list above. I hope that helps!

    2. mohit verma on April 14, 2018 2:49 am

      These look amazing! I love that they are from scratch! I am with you on winning over my heart. I need something good like these Subway Sauces for instance. Delicious! Pinned!

    3. JL on January 29, 2018 2:26 pm

      Subway’s Creamy Italian dressing has no dairy? really?? Are you sure about that?

      • Alisa Fleming on January 29, 2018 2:31 pm

        I’m never 100% sure about what restaurants report! I just report it 🙂 According to their allergen chart it doesn’t contain milk/dairy.

    4. Kelly on November 24, 2017 2:01 pm

      Subway is also amazing! They don’t fuss a bit when I tell them my dairy allergy. They get new gloves and a clean knife and one place even sanitized!

    5. Jayce on July 7, 2016 10:14 am

      I have a gluten and dairy allergy. Does the gluten free bread at Subway have dairy in it?

      • Alisa Fleming on July 7, 2016 3:23 pm

        I believe it does not (check at the location though, as I couldn’t confirm), however, it isn’t widely available.

    6. Jennifer on July 28, 2015 11:02 pm

      Is the guacamole dairy free

    7. Laura on March 20, 2013 4:06 pm

      I thought the italian meats and bologna contained dried milk powder, sodium lactylate, lactic acid, or other dairy derived “natural” flavors and coloring? Does the roast beef contain carmel color?

      • Alisa Fleming on March 20, 2013 4:39 pm

        Aside from the dried milk powder, the ingredients you have named are rarely derived from dairy. See this post for information on dairy ingredients – http://www.godairyfree.org/dairy-free-grocery-shopping-guide/dairy-ingredient-list-2.

        I believe we have a link on this post to Subway for verification of their allergens.

      Soybeans and eggs for mayo-just checked, GOD I LOVE SUBWAY

    9. gina turley on January 14, 2013 2:33 pm

      How is the tuna dairy free? It’s pre-made with Mayo

      • Ivy on July 26, 2015 6:35 pm

        Mayo is not made with any dairy (milk) products. Although, it is still not vegan because the mayo has eggs in it.

    10. Alisa Fleming on January 4, 2013 7:44 am

      Hi Chris, thank you for the link to the UK subway information. Our information is for the US subway in particular. It sounds as if processes are different in the UK as most deli meat does not contain milk/dairy in the US. Many contain lactylates, but they are rarely, if ever, dairy-derived in the US.

    11. sue mueller on December 3, 2012 12:55 pm

      At Subway we also always ask them to wash the knife and we watch them wash it..and to use the same knife – keeping it on the paper as they make the complete sandwich (then make others) This goes against the way they typically make a sandwich but I am always polite and tell them it is less confusing if they make the dairy free first – completely, then come back and make the others. If it is crowded I will even buy separate and not make others wait while I special order.
