Chicken at Subway only contains about 50 percent chicken DNA, tests show
KDVR ^ | February 27, 2017 | Anica Padilla

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation had researchers at Trent University’s Wildlife Forensic DNA Laboratory test the chicken from several fast food chains, including McDonald’s, Wendy’s, A&W, Tim Hortons and Subway.

Most of the scores were between 85 and 90 percent chicken DNA. Except at Subway.

The oven roasted chicken scored 53.6 percent chicken DNA and the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki (chicken strips) had just 42.8 percent chicken DNA, according to the CBC Marketplace investigation.

...

So what else is in the meat? According to the DNA testing, it’s soy.

Worse than that, it shrinks BOTH mail brains... (See UConn study on the effects of soy & testosterone).

All I ever get from Subway is the tuna sub. But now I wonder how much tuna is in the tuna?

At $6 for the footlong, you're not getting dolphin.

I can guarantee the chicken at any of your local Chick-fil-A’s is 100% real chicken!

(I work at one. I know.)

Wonder what is in the pastrami or the roast beef.

I don’t eat there but my kids do.

We usually stop at Subway when traveling to pick up lunch. At least you can watch the person making your sandwich.

All one had to do was call Subway and ask. But it sounds much more dramatic saying “checking DNA.”

I saw this. It’s available online as well as most tv is these days. The basic conclusion is Wendys was the best in terms of the fast foods tested but the best is cooking your own chicken at home.

Insignificant increases.

For men and boys, the phytoestrogens in soy do not appear to have any effect on hormone levels and have not been shown to affect sexual development or fertility. Research studies show that men consuming soy have less prostate cancer and better prostate cancer survival.

Wondered why I could not eat the Chicken Teriyaki. Soy makes me sort of sick. Wasn’t just the sauce. By the way, Subway, that is SO gross.

Every time I have eaten at Subway I have ended up with... let’s call it “fluid drive”. Roast beef, chicken, tuna, doesn’t matter.

Never again. Their coffee is pretty good, though.

The headline was misleading to me - it came across as if the chicken itself, when tested, were some kind of ‘Franken-Chicken’; not that they found other components mixed into it.

The only thing I really like at Subway has been the meatball sub - which is ripe for pumping-up with soy.

(I was on a thread recently where we were talking about Popeye’s chicken, but what I get is all on the bone....?)

Soy tastes like chicken? Everything tastes like chicken.
