Celiac safety profile
McAlister's Deli
Sandwich Shop
2704 17th St Suite A, Marion, IL 62959
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread for sandwiches (often noted as Udi’s at various times)
- Baked potatoes (including larger loaded/spud max varieties)
- Gluten-free salads (with croutons omitted or with GF ingredients)
- GF sides such as fruit or potato salad (where clearly labeled or identified as GF)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a possible risk with shared equipment and prep spaces.
- While many diners report careful practices (glove changes, kitchen notifications, and GF labeling), there are occasional reports of cross-contamination or gluten-related issues at some locations or past visits.
- As with many chain delis, consistency can vary by location and day. When in doubt, speak up, confirm with staff, and request specific precautions (e.g., separate prep, fresh gloves, and directed preparation).
