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.

It depends on the franchise owner, too. When I ate at the subway in the big city, you could see through the sliced “meat”. The subway in my little town was locally owned, and they always had thicker meat, and more of it.
That is my favorite.
add pepper jack, lettuce ,spinach, tomato,onion, bell pepper salt and pepper and oregano. Yum. ;)
I used to go to Subway a lot because it was cheap. It’s not so cheap anymore - prices seem to go up every time I go in.
I get the Spicy Italian on Italian herb & cheese bread, take it home cold, add extra cheese and bake it myself. Makes a decent sammich, but don’t go as often since the price went up.
When I was in college I got to eat at the training table and was in hog heaven.
Many years later I went to grad school and my finances were really tight. This was in the late 80s. I discovered that Wendys had a salad bar for only a dollar and it was all you could eat.
I would get a little lettuce then pile on several types of meat and things like cheese, croutons, dressing, and tomatoes. Literally all I could eat for a buck and it was good.
They must have caught on as I noticed a few years later that they either did not have salads or handed them out already made.
One other trick was the university had fish, shrimp, scallops etc. on Friday night for the regular price. I lived off campus but it did not matter. I would fill up on shrimp, scallops, crabs etc. for around $3.50
Still not as good as training table at Troy. Those Black cooks could make turnips taste great and it had a lot of meat it in. Otherwise I usually don’t care for turnips.
It’s no wonder we’re rife with hormone deficiencies &
gender angst. Soy is highly estrogenic & who knows what
else. Plus other additives & chemicals in our food.
Jersey Mikes charges twice as much as Subway.
Now I know why. They have 100% chicken!
Could be very harmful for anyone supposed to avoid soy products, like me and many thousands of other people in our country. I don’t eat out much at all.
A long time ago I worked at Subway.
The ‘chicken’ was rubbery and really weird.
“Soy is highly estrogenic & who knows what
else. Plus other additives & chemicals in our food.”
I’ll probably get flamed for this, but you’re absolutely right. As was pointed out in post #12, as of 2014, 90% of all soy grown has been genetically modified to be resistant to herbicides and pesticides, primarily to Roundup. It really is amazing how scientists managed to create a plant that grows after being continuously doused in Roundup, while every other living thing in that soybean field, plants, insects, and microbes, is killed.
It has been known for a long time that soy has estrogen mimicking properties, but many pesticides and herbicides, such as Roundup, have estrogen like compounds far more powerful than soy. I am thankful that there still are some rules in our country about labeling what’s in our food, and to a lesser degree, how and where it is grown/raised, so if I don’t want to eat genetically modified soy products that have been grown in a substance that kills everything else, I can still find those products to a limited degree. However, such isn’t the case when it comes to foods at a restaurant. It takes pesky third party researchers, like the one this article is based upon, to find out what is being passed off as food.
It’s kind of a silly question, but I have to wonder, at what point (or percentage) can somebody still call a food something that it is not? In the case of the “chicken” that Subway serves, it may be more appropriate to label it 42.8% real chicken and 57.2% imitation, (or there about), as well as what the imitation part is made of. Or since it’s more imitation than chicken, can it still be called chicken? In which case it may be more appropriate to call it 57.2% soy with 42.8% chicken as filler.
We eat at Subway a little. Of course, I always got the
“chicken” with lots of vegetables. Guess they fooled me.
I read “Daily Dose” with Jack Harrison & it’s pretty
informative & funny to boot. - Dr. Wm. Campbell Douglas used
to have those articles. (Some “experts” have liked to diss
Dr. Douglas; but he died a few years ago - in his 90th year-
so I figured he had a pretty good run, outliving most of his
critics & the know-it-all vegetarians).
I reckon the government is trying to kill us with all the
“Frankenfood”. :o(
Soros owns stock in Subway and Monsanto. Soros wants a nation of limp-wristed weaklings who can be easily controlled, and he will use soy to turn people into effeminate rump ranging weaklings so that if he decides to stage a military coup, there will be no armed resistence.
And women who have estrogen fed cancers. My gyn-oncologist told me to avoid soy and other phytoestrogens. Sadly companies put soy in almost everything.
