I’ll jump in here to comment on the Subway party line.
Only the veggies are fresh. All else including the bread comes frozen.
I discovered this fact when visiting a huge frozen food storage and distribution center for a client. I made numerous visits.
I saw all the various frozen palletized cartons of Subway frozen ingredients. The ware house workers sometimes damaged a carton that resulted in spilled ham or disgusting looking perfectly formed egg portions or long thin bred dough. Everything was there on display, not fresh. Ihe Subway ingredients come to the shop in frozen cardboard cartons.
Subway ingredients are frozen. Subway ingredients are not fresh
My testimony is the result of direct multiple observations on the warehouse floor
"Eat Fresh!"
(yeah..right)
