New Study from Canada came up with a DNA test that produced results which claims that Subway Restaurant’s chicken only contains about 50% of actual REAL chicken DNA
The tests also claimed that Wendy’s and McDonalds’ chicken contained about 88% of actual real chicken. Both food chains refuted these statement, saying that they only use 100% real chicken meat.
Subway Canada issued a statement:
“SUBWAY Canada cannot confirm the veracity of the results of the lab testing you had conducted. However, we are concerned by the alleged findings you cite with respect to the proportion of soy content. 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. We tested our chicken products recently for nutritional and quality attributes and found it met our food quality standards. We will look into this again with our supplier to ensure that the chicken is meeting the high standard we set for all of our menu items and ingredients.”
What do you think about this story? Are you at all alarmed?
