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.

Subway uses brown sugar to colour their bread brown and markets it as "whole wheat" bread. They are the lowest of the low when it comes to fast food places. You think they are a healthy alternative but they are not.

To be fair, about any bread you get that comes from anywhere other than your own oven is pretty gross and should be treated as suspect.
I've found literally one type of bread I could buy from a store even that didn't have unnecessary things in it. And that's not even counting whatever is in restaurant bread. My homemade bread lasts longer AND isn't filled with things that give it the look and texture of some sort of industrial foam.
Don't blame me, I voted for moose wang!

>You think they are a healthy alternative but they are not.
Really? Is there another major fast food chain where I can get a seriously loaded veggie sandwich with meat seasoning that I don't know about?
I mean, yeah, the bread is over-sweetened mass-produced foam, but you only have to take a bite of it to realize that.
