Subway sandwiches are often touted as being healthy fast food, but are they really?
Bnet.com has an interesting article which you might want to read before you order. First of all, the bread is made with sodium stearoyl lactylate and ammonium sulfate, which are used as a dough conditioners, and azodicarbonamide, a bleaching chemical most commonly employed in the production of foamed plastics. Not exactly like home cooking.
Their meat is something else as well. In order to get that meat like flavour, Subway uses autolyzed yeast extract and hyrolyzed corn gluten which are supposed to act like flavour enhancers. This way when they process the meat, a little bit goes a long way.
What is in your food?

I haven’t eaten any Subway in well over a year and this convinces me to keep going! Thanks for the info!
Hi Dan, You’re welcome – I know it’s hard to believe isn’t it – especially when it smells so good when you walk by.
Their claim of “freshness” is especially suspect when you see their stores in incredibly isolated bumble areas like the middle of Wyoming
I always used to think that they somehow made their buns from scratch. You sound like you’re really well travelled. What brought you to the bumbles?
