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.

    I think the issue is that these things are starting to taste disgusting.

    I generally order a salad at Wendy's as my lunch. Occasionally I would have a 5 piece chicken nugget instead.

    Lately the chicken nuggets have a horrible pasty consistence and taste awful. Happened to me twice in a row.

    No more fast food chicken nuggets for me. Now it's salad or nothing. Until the salad is made with artificial lettuce.
