Most people seem to have a pretty good idea about McDonald’s gluten free menu, but what about Burger King?  Here at Gluten Free Fast Food, we’ve put some time into trying to obtain a complete Burger King gluten free menu, but haven’t gotten anything official yet.

Burger King’s Gluten Free Menu

According to our research, there isn’t all that much which can be confirmed to be gluten free at Burger King.  So far the only items we’ve been able to confirm are gluten free are:

• Tendergrill Garden Salad (bring your own dressing)
• French Fries (confirm your location uses a dedicated fryer!)
• Pop/Sodas and milk

That is per Burger King’s official ingredient list (PDF) and allergens list. You can also find more information here.

Because the list is so small, very few (if any) people with Celiac Disease ever go there, leaving their employees uneducated about our needs.  As a result, unless you only have a Burger King in your area, we suggest you instead head over to somewhere like McDonald’s to find your gluten free meal.

In my experience, they are probably one of the best Gluten Free Restaurants because they are everywhere and they are great about disclosing ingredients on their official website.  This allows you to have options if you are stuck in situation where you don’t have any snacks with you.

Although this is subject to change, here is a current list of McDonald’s gluten free items for your reference.   Due to the nature of the fast food industry, ingredients are often changing, so you’ll also want to keep an eye on McDonald’s official website to ensure this information is still accurate (we will revisit it regularly to try to keep our list updated):

McDonald’s Drinks:

• Apple Juice
• Coffee
• Hot Chocolate
• 1% Low Fat Milk, White or Chocolate

• Ice Cream Sundaes including nuts
• McFlurry® with M&M’S® Candies

McDonald’s Condiments/Sauces:

• Butter

• Chicken McNugget® Hot Mustard Sauce
• Hotcake Syrup

Reminder: We recommend you discuss your dietary needs with the employee when placing your order and keep an eye on McDonald’s official website for changes in ingredients before dining out.

Wouldn’t it be great if Subway offered gluten free foods?   Unfortunately, as their focus is on bread and the insane amount of cross-contamination possibilities, people with Celiac Disease are pretty much out of luck.

According to my research, Subway’s official menu page on their website contains an allergy chart (PDF) which anyone can download.  A quick browsing over the most current version of the document shows that many of the salads appear to be gluten free. With the exceptions of the the Seafood Sensation, Meatball Marinara, and Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken, all the other salads are currently safe (assuming the employee is careful to avoid cross-contamination).

If you decide to try a Subway salad, you’ll want to educate them on your dietary needs, including making sure you tell them to hold the croutons.  Oh, and as for the salad dressings, the only one which appears to contain gluten is the “Atkins Sweet as Honey Mustard,” so you’ll want to avoid that as well!
