All American Club Sub: Allergens at a Glance
The honest verdict
All American Club Sub
The All American Club Sub is a cold sub sandwich typically built on a wheat-based sub roll with turkey, ham, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. The allergen profile is anchored by wheat from the roll, milk from the cheese (and potentially the roll), and egg from the mayonnaise. Soy may appear in the bread or processed deli meats. Sesame seeds may be present on the roll. Peanut, tree nut, fish, and shellfish are not typical ingredients but cross-contact in a deli environment is possible. This is a standard cold club sub — distinct from a toasted sub, wrap, or salad format. Always confirm with your specific restaurant before ordering.

Key facts
The All American Club Sub is a cold sandwich — its allergen profile differs from toasted subs, wraps, and salad formats.
FDA — Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA)
Deli meat slicers and shared prep surfaces create cross-contact risk between different meat, cheese, and allergen-containing items.
Mayonnaise is a standard egg-containing condiment on club subs — requesting no mayo removes the primary egg source.
Every major allergen, one clear grid
Each of the nine major allergens marked for All American Club Sub — Contains, May contain (cross-contact or varies), or Free. Anything we couldn't confirm defaults to "may contain," because a shared kitchen can't be ruled out without the restaurant's official menu.
- MilkContains
Cheese (typically American, provolone, or Swiss) is a standard ingredient on a club sub. The sub roll may also contain milk or butter. Confirm the cheese type and roll ingredients with the restaurant.
- EggContains
Mayonnaise is a standard condiment on a club sub and contains egg. Some restaurants offer egg-free mayo alternatives — ask if available. The roll may also contain egg.
- Wheat / GlutenContains
The sub roll is wheat-based. This is the primary source of gluten in the sandwich. There is no standard gluten-free sub roll at most sandwich chains.
- SoyMay contain
Soy may appear in the sub roll (soy flour or lecithin) and in processed deli meats (turkey, ham, bacon) as a filler or preservative. Soybean oil may be used in mayonnaise. Check the specific brand and preparation at your location.
- PeanutFree
Peanut is not a standard ingredient in a club sub. Cross-contact is unlikely in a typical deli environment unless peanut-containing items are prepared nearby.
- Tree NutFree
Tree nuts are not an ingredient in standard club sub components. Some specialty breads or spreads may contain tree nuts — confirm with the restaurant.
- FishFree
Fish is not an ingredient in a standard club sub. Tuna salad or other fish items may be prepared in the same deli — ask about shared prep surfaces if fish allergy is a concern.
- ShellfishFree
Shellfish is not an ingredient in a standard club sub. Cross-contact is unlikely unless the deli also prepares shellfish items.
- SesameMay contain
Sesame seeds may be present on the sub roll or in the bread. Some chains use sesame seed-topped rolls for their sub sandwiches. Confirm the roll type with the restaurant.
“May contain” means cross-contact is possible or the answer varies by location — not that the allergen is a listed ingredient. For a severe allergy, treat “may contain” the same as “contains” until the restaurant confirms otherwise.
Small changes that remove an allergen
Simple modifications that can take an allergen off your all american club sub. Always name your allergy when you order and ask staff to confirm — a modification only helps if the kitchen prepares it separately.
Order without cheese
Request no mayonnaise or ask for an egg-free mayo alternative
Ask for a sesame-free roll or a wrap instead of the standard sub roll
Request lettuce wrap or salad bowl format instead of the sub roll
A modification lowers exposure but doesn't erase cross-contact from shared fryers, grills, or prep surfaces. For a severe allergy, confirm the prep with a manager before you eat.

Cross-contact & severe allergies
A “free of” mark on the grid above means the allergen isn't an ingredient — it doesn't mean the item was made in an allergen-free kitchen. Two things matter most:
Shared fryers & equipment
Deli-style sandwich preparation involves shared cutting boards, knives, and prep surfaces. Deli meat slicers are used for multiple meat and cheese types, creating cross-contact risk between items. If the same counter is used for tuna or egg salad, additional allergen transfer is possible. Ask staff about dedicated prep surfaces and utensils for allergy orders.
If your allergy is severe
For anaphylactic allergy to wheat, milk, egg, or sesame, confirm every component with the restaurant before ordering. A club sub is not guaranteed safe for any of these allergens without restaurant-level confirmation. Carry your epinephrine auto-injector. If you cannot confirm preparation details, consider a lettuce wrap or a build-your-own option with verified ingredients.
This guidance is general and can't account for how any single location prepares your food. The restaurant's staff and official allergen menu are the final word — when in doubt, ask, or choose something else.
❓Frequently Asked Questions
The All American Club Sub contains wheat (sub roll), milk (cheese and possibly the roll), and egg (mayonnaise). Soy may be present in the bread and deli meats. Sesame may appear on the roll. Peanut, tree nut, fish, and shellfish are not typical ingredients. This is a cold sub with turkey, ham, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo — the allergen profile differs from a hot toasted sub or a wrap.
No. The sub roll is wheat-based, making the standard sandwich not gluten-free. To remove gluten, request a lettuce wrap, a gluten-free wrap (if available at your location), or a salad bowl format. Confirm that gluten-free alternatives are prepared on separate surfaces to avoid cross-contact with gluten from the regular bread.
Yes, dairy is present in the cheese (typically American, provolone, or Swiss). The sub roll may also contain milk or butter. Ordering without cheese removes the primary dairy source, but confirm the roll ingredients with the restaurant if you need a completely dairy-free sandwich.
Yes, by requesting no mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is the primary egg-containing ingredient. Some restaurants offer egg-free mayonnaise alternatives — ask if available. The sub roll may also contain egg, so confirm the roll ingredients if egg allergy is a concern.
It depends on the roll. Many sub rolls are topped with sesame seeds or contain sesame flour. If the restaurant uses a sesame-free roll, the sandwich may be safe. Ask the restaurant about their specific roll ingredients. If sesame-free bread is not available, request a lettuce wrap or a different bread option.
