The company website doesn't say. (Other fast-food companies offer detailed information on ingredients.) An online search yielded no clear answer.
After calling Jimmy John's corporate office and sending two e-mails, I finally got an answer. Jimmy John's bread is not vegan. I offer that information here for anyone else who's wondering.

Is Jimmy John's bread vegan?

It's good though.
bummer
At least one can take the Subway. (Sorry.)
This is seriously disappointing. Their bread was one of my favorite things! I guess that still leaves the unwich, which isn't too appealing in my opinion.
No, not appealing at all. Some other fast-food places are much more vegan-friendly.
A good tactic, in my opinion, is to tell the waiter/waitress/manager/cashier that you are severely allergic to eggs and milk. Granted, this may seem unethical because it is a lie, but I would posit that it's much more unethical to participate in the egg, milk, and meat industries.
Did you happen to get a full ingredients list from them?
I am trying to avoid free glutens (MSG) just wanted to know.
Thanks!
No, i got no list, and there doesn’t seem to be such info at the company’s website.
What ingredient makes the bread non-vegan?
I was told that milk is an ingredient.
Does anyone know if this applies to both Whole Grain and French Bread?
I don’t think Jimmy John’s offered whole-grain bread when I inquired. There’s still no ingredient info on the company’s website — not a friendly gesture, in my opinion.
I finally got a list of ingredients from a store, and there are NO animal products in it. However, just like any other product, it has a list of allergens at the end, and it states "May contain egg or soy products." They believe it is because where the bread is manufactured, and I wonder if it is in the wash on the top of the bread (but it isn't listed for some reason)
Very curious. There is still no ingredient info on the company’s website.
Hi everyone. Just wanted to chime in because I actually am severely allergic to egg and dairy products. Their sub bread is allergy free, (I ate it for several years regularly before going vegan) but I don't think the wheat sandwich bread is.
I would suggest that anyone in search of guidance do what I did several years ago: call Jimmy John’s headquarters and ask about ingredients. The company website still has no information about ingredients.
There are other chains that are vegan-friendlier. And there are other reasons why you might want to choose a different place to eat.
