Consumer demand for free-from food varieties is on the rise, so brands are responding with new initiatives like the Firehouse Subs gluten-free bread option to keep patrons satisfied. The new gluten-free bread is a ciabatta-style sub roll that is sourced from American gluten-free bread producer Schar and available as an option for any medium sub. The new bread option is available for an additional charge of between $1.50 and $2, depending on the particular location.
The Firehouse Subs gluten-free bread option is sure to come as welcome news to the increasing number of consumers seeking to avoid the unwanted protein complex. The new bread option helps to make individual sandwiches gluten-free, but the brand cannot guarantee that patrons won't come into contact with gluten given the high number of products they offer that contain it.
