Subway chicken only 50% meat?

I know nobody on here actually eats in fast food restaurants, but still interesting
CBC Market Place tonight tested chickens in several fast food restaurants, and while most had mainly chicken in their chicken sandwiches, Subway grilled chicken was 50% chicken and the rest was a long list of ingredients, it was mostly soya.
Who knew?

Subway is one of the few fast food joints I eat at. Rethinking that now...For the price you pay for a sandwich, and how little meat you get in it, you expect the meat to be, oh I don't know, MEAT?

Same here, I usually go there since they don't fry everything and you get fresh vegetables and can skip the cheese and mayonnaise. I feel gross and really deceived. Plus right... you would think their meat would be.... MEAT!!!

When on the road I will eat subway no problem! Always a veggie sub, extra spinach and cucumber. That is truly disturbing. GACK

I like subway, but I've gone to tex-mex places more now (Mucho Burrito), as they cook all the meat in front of you and its beans, rice and veggies.

As for bacon: once you've got real bacon from a butcher shop, its hard to eat the "processed" stuff containing "artificial smoke"

Sadly this is how screwed up our food processing sector is as it spends more time trying find least cost solutions with cheap fillers than the real thing as they all race to the bottom!
It's good they got found out and the other chains know too as I expect they weren't far behind in doing this as well so with luck they'll all be a bit more honest about it. If you don't ask they won't tell you what's really in it!

I think it was Subway that was shown to be using white buns with coloring in them instead of whole wheat (and calling the buns whole wheat). I think I saw this on Marketplace a few years ago. They may actually be using whole wheat buns now.

so if someone was allergic to soy and its not listed anywhere on the menu beside the chicken/soy sub, well they could have been in a tonne of trouble! we eat there sometimes because we can get a salad and when we say we're gluten free they seem to take it very seriously. however after our last weeks episode with pita pit and there gluten free wraps poisioning some of our celiac family members we wont be eating out anywhere from now on period. to much cross contamination. later on we checked the website and it said not recommended for people with celiac. we really should have checked there first.... sorry different subject.
