Celiac safety profile

Sandwich Shop
1109 North Service Rd E, Ruston, LA 71270
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Sandwiches prepared on gluten-free bread (bread option often noted as gluten-free bread, sometimes Udi’s)
- Spud Max baked potato and other gluten-free baked potatoes
- Gluten-free salads and sides that are clearly marked as GF (with no croutons when requested)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent cross-contamination risk typical of many chains.
- While many diners report positive experiences and careful handling (glove changes, kitchen communications, allergy notes on tickets), a minority of reviews describe incidents or uncertainties possibly linked to cross-contact in a high-volume setting.
- Always flag your allergy clearly when ordering, consider asking for allergy-specific handling (e.g., fresh gloves, separate prep area, no cross-contact toast), and verify that your items are prepared in a way that minimizes risk.
