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.

Well, kinda.
I mean it's a great protein source, but it isn't without it's hazards. As just one example of many , it contains several anti-nutrients (undigestible molecules that bond to nutrients and remove them from your body), including for calcium, zinc, and iron, which are especially important for growing children - which is one reason why it's strongly suggested that you don't feed children soy products.
