Wawa grilled chicken sandwich nutrition

A chain of retail convenience stores, Wawa offers a number of specialty beverages, grocery store foods, made-to-order meals, snacks, and desserts. Many Wawa venues also offer fuel, making this establishment a popular pit stop. Most stores are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year.

The Wawa organization has a history in dairy farming, and offers a wide selection of Wawa-branded dairy products, including 11 flavors of ice cream, a few creamer types, and nine flavors of milk.

What Experts Say

"Wawa offers a variety of built-to-order and ready-to-go foods. The healthiest options are fresh fruit or veggie cups. You can also prepare your own coffee (keeping it healthy by limiting cream and sugar). Wawa’s processed foods tend to be high in fat, sodium, and calories, so be conscious of these levels in your other meals throughout the day."

Navigating the Menu

Wawa offers a variety of grab-and-go options such as create-your-own hoagies, sandwiches, and bowls, snacks typical of a convenience store, and Wawa-packaged dairy products, including milk and ice cream.

Most Nutritious Option

The most nutritious option at Wawa is the garden fresh salad, which you can purchase in the Grab and Go Express section. The salad includes garden-fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese, red onions, and croutons and is pre-made, so it can't be customized. You can, however, personalize a salad from the Built-to-Order menu, allowing you to remove any allergens or stick to a specific diet.

Bakery

Wawa offers a number of bakery items, which include typical fare such as doughnuts, muffins, brownies, and cookies. No Wawa bakery items offer any substantial nutrition.

✓ Croissant

This popular bakery item has 200 calories, 10g fat, 5g saturated fat, 24g carbohydrates, 4g protein, and 210mg sodium. If you pair it with a cup of fresh fruit, you could get a full breakfast and some vitamins and fiber that the croissant alone doesn't offer.

To avoid food allergens, check Wawa's interactive website. This website also offers a dedicated phone number you can call if you have any further questions regarding allergens and food safety.

For this reason, many options at Wawa may not be appropriate for those with food allergies. In this case, it may be best to stick to prepackaged, allergy-friendly options.
