According to the CBC [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation], researchers at Trent University sampled both the oven roasted chicken filets and the chicken strips that Subway uses on its sandwiches in Canada. After testing six small samples of the filets and three small samples of the strips, the researchers ran a DNA test.

The results showed that the filets contained just 53.6 percent chicken DNA. The strips were found to contain just 42.8 percent chicken DNA.

CBC reports that the rest of the DNA found in the chicken was soy — used either for either seasoning or filler.

  that most of the meat is infested with human pathogenic viruses... I would not be surprised if that would be the case. It has me started thinking about reducing my meat consumption.

  Good, make sure you get your daily supplement of E.coli [wikipedia.org] - beats the crap out of any viral infection (or just beats the crap out fullstop? Or is it non-stop?)
