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.

    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.
