Four years after learning their longtime spokesman was a giant pedophile, Subway has suffered yet another embarrassment after a Canadian court threw out a $210 million lawsuitagainst journalists who tested the company's meat, only to discover that Subway chicken contains as little as 42.8% actual chicken. The rest is wood pulp and soy.
That cock smoker look
In February 2017, the Canadian Broadcasting Company's MarketplaceDNA tested six different pieces of chickenfrom five fast food restaurants - finding that poultry from A&W, McDonald's, Tim Hortons, and Wendy's contained between 88.5% and 89.4% chicken DNA. Subway?
53.6% for their oven roasted chicken contained actual chicken, and 42.8% of their chicken strips. According to the CBC, the rest of it was soy protein, according to VICE.
And soy is an estrogen mimicker, which means for men, it makes them more womanly and for woman, turns them into menopausal angry dykes. Needless to say, Subway was a little upset - filing a $210 lawsuit against the CBC, claiming the study was "recklessly and maliciously" published and that the DNA test "lacked scientific rigor."
The company claims lost customers, lost reputation, and that they had
lost a "significant" amount of sales according to the report.
"The accusations made by CBC Marketplace about the content of our
chicken are absolutely false and misleading," the company said after the
report was published. Nearly three years later, the suit has been tossed.
But at the end of November, the The Ontario Superior Court
threw Subway's lawsuit out, ruling that the CBC's program was an example
of investigative journalism, and was protected under an anti-SLAPP
("Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation") statute
that "encourages individuals to express themselves on matters of public
interest," without the fear that they'll be sued if they speak out.

public expression on a recent episode of Last Week Tonight.) -VICE
"The Marketplace report dealt with the ingredients of sandwiches sold
by popular fast food chains. It relayed the results of DNA tests
performed by the Trent laboratory, which indicated that two types of
Subway chicken products contained significantly less chicken DNA than
other products tested," wrote Justice E.M. Morgan in his ruling.
"Furthermore, the Marketplace report raised a quintessential consumer
protection issue. There are few things in society of more acute
interest to the public than what they eat. To the extent that Subway's
products are consumed by a sizable portion of the public, the public
interest in their composition is not difficult to discern and is
established on the evidence."
VICE notes, however, that Justice Morgan did note that Subway's claims had substantial merit because their own testing revealed just 1% soy filler, not the 40% claimed by the CBC.
The CBC stands by their results, and hired their own expert to vouch for the lab's testing. Subway told VICE in a comment after publication:
Statement from Subway Restaurants: “The
case has not been dismissed in its entirety, and this decision does not
validate the tests performed by Trent University. In fact, the judge’s
opinion states: ‘The record submitted by Subway contains a substantial
amount of evidence indicating that the Trent laboratory tests were of
limited or no value in determining the chicken content of Subway’s
products,’ and ‘…there is considerable evidence that suggests the false
and harmful nature of the information conveyed to the public in the
Marketplace report.’
The CBC Marketplace story at
issue is wholly inaccurate and built on flawed research, which caused
significant harm to our network of Franchise Owners. In 2017, two
independent laboratories in Canada and the U.S. found our chicken to be
100 percent chicken breast with added seasoning, verified that the soy
content was only in the range of 1 percent, and contested the testing
methodology.
The quality and integrity of our food is the foundation of our business, and we will continue to vigorously defend Subway
® Franchise Owners against false allegations such as those made by
CBC’s Marketplace program. We are reviewing the recent decision by the
Ontario court and are confident in the ability to continue our claims
against Trent University while an appeal against the CBC is under
review.”

More facts from the subway poison past
Did they ever take the plastic **** out of the bread when they got caught?
Ask 'em about the glutinous product that they use the term "bread" for.
They also use filler in the "meatball" part of their meatball subs.
That is not ground beef either. I am surprised nobody calls them on this
stuff.
The remaining filler is from a company that does customer support for Tesla. I always wondered what happened to the those cultists who dared to speak out.
Subway is the only place on Earth where freshly baked bread is inedible.

likely straight poison. They are in it to make sure the Hospitals stay

Subway's prides themselves on serving the 'freshest' ingredients. The main question is, what exactly are in the ingredients?
According to DNA tests conducted by Trent University and the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Subway's chicken fillets, found in
their Oven Roasted Chicken sandwich, had just 53.6% chicken in it, while
their sumptuous strips, found in their delicious Sweet Onion Chicken
Teriyaki sandwich, contained only 42.8% chicken. In case you're wondering, the remainder of the 'chicken' substance is made from soy.
Subway's Canada responded to the findings with the following statement.
“SUBWAY Canada cannot confirm the veracity of the results of the lab
testing you had conducted,” the company said, adding, “Our chicken
strips and oven roasted chicken contain 1% or less of soy protein. We
use this ingredient in these products as a means to help stabilize the
texture and moisture. All of our chicken items are made from 100% white
meat chicken which is marinated, oven roasted and grilled.”

including A&W, McDonald's, Tim Horton's and Wendy's -- most of
which contained 80-90% chicken.
