Well at least they got rid of the yoga-mat compound azodicarbonamide in the bread

Not good for low-carb/keto eaters. Soy has carbs, chicken doesn't. There has been some discussion regarding subway and carbs in the chicken, because their nutrition shows far fewer than some app trackers do. If it's 50%, that's a serious level of carbs, and makes Subway not an option.
>If it's 50%, that's a serious level of carbs An ounce of tofu has about 0.5g of carbs. I don't think it's going to add more than a few grams for an entire sandwich.
For keto you have 20. If it's 4 grams, that's 20% of what you can have from something expected to have 0.

You win the NASA award for mixing metric and imperial in the most nonsensical way.

#34Subway chicken is absolute garbage. When my Gardein Vegan mock-chicken (made of mostly soy, no less!) tastes better than their "actual chicken", there's a problem.

#35As someone who eats these fake chicken sandwiches occasionally, cant say I'm surprised. I always assumed these things were the equivalent of chicken hot dog patties or something. Don't know why people eat these things... oh ya -- it's the only food place open in SF SOMA late night.
DNA Pizza. JWZ needs your lucre.

#36I've stopped buying their chicken. Now I know why.
Instead, I'll buy a veggie sandwich and bake a chicken breast myself.

#37> The majority of the remaining DNA? Soy. The headline got me sorta terrified, imagining what sort of repugnant, monstrous creature was being grinded and mixed into my Subway sandwich. Good to know at least it's just soy.
Yeah...I don't see too much to be outraged about here. If you want to be upset about adding soy to the chicken you eat, be upset about the soy they add to the chicken before they kill it. Soy isn't part of the natural diet for chickens, so feeding it to them means also feeding them antibiotics. If anything, lowering the percentage of chicken that's raised in that way would make it healthier.

#38Subway has become the supplier of subs at the lowest cost. What this means is that bean counters dictate what the subs contain. It's never top line products and they add fillers where ever they can without killing the flavor 100%. It's not a surprise that they use soy. It's just unfortunate that they have to get to this point. I don't know if it's universal but my local subway has reduced the diameter of the bread ro…
It's not unfortunate when you think of all the chickens that are needlessly slaughtered to appeal to people's unhealthy dietary laziness ^.^

Subway prides themselves on having low or no fat in sandwiches as a great way to lose weight. The catch is that the carbs are there. ie, bread. Sneaky.

#40Ack just a few months back I started getting IBS symptoms and figured out I'm intolerant to soy, dairy and some spicy stuff. I end up having make a lot of stuff myself because I can't trust what is made in restaurants.
I'm having similar issues. How did you figure it out? Is there a test, or just elimination?
