Wendy’s Gluten-Free Meal Options

People with food allergies or gluten intolerance often look for restaurants that offer gluten-free food. When it comes to fast-food restaurants, it gets a bit harder to find one that has a gluten-free menu.

Wendy’s gluten-free meal options include salads, sides & salad dressings, baked potatoes, Frosty, and some condiments. As for burgers, you can order bun-free burgers, but the staff can’t guarantee it’s made in a fully gluten-free environment. Let’s see what Wendy’s has for gluten-intolerant people.

Breakfast Menu

Many people visit Wendy’s special for its breakfast menu. If you are one of them, then you may probably know that they usually serve hamburgers and sandwiches for breakfast. 

In this case, you can order bunless items or go for seasoned potatoes. Since they also have gluten-free sauces and dippings, you can take them to complete potatoes. 

Burgers and Sandwiches

Wendy’s doesn’t have gluten-free buns. If you want to order gluten-free burgers or sandwiches at Wendy’s then you can go for the ones without buns. Some of the chicken sandwiches and bunless burgers are wrapped in lettuce. 

However, we can’t say they prepare them separately meaning there is a risk of cross-contamination. On the other hand, you can order 

  • Hamburger patties 
  • Grilled chicken 

Baked Potatoes

Wendy’s baked potatoes are fully-gluten free and you can order several options to satiate your hunger. Just be careful with the additional ingredients and toppings. You can order the following baked potatoes:
