I know a lot of you here like to "eat fresh" so I wanted to share this news. It is very distressing, to say the least. Probably worse than the whole Jared thing tbh.

Subway's oven roasted chicken only 50 percent chicken, DNA test shows

http://www.kmbc.com/article/subways-oven-roasted-chicken-only-50-percent-chicken-dna-test-shows/8989669

quote:

BOSTON —
Subway is fighting back against a claim that the chicken it serves up isn't all real chicken.

A Canadian Broadcasting Corporation investigation backed by Trent University researchers says a DNA test showed the oven roasted chicken is just over half chicken. The rest was made up of soy.

The same test found other fast food chains had about 85 to 90 percent chicken as opposed to Subway's 50 percent. With such a different result, the researchers tested five more oven roasted chicken pieces and five orders of chicken strips: the roasted averaged 53.6 percent chicken DNA and the strips 42.8.

Subway said it can't confirm any of the testing methods used, but admits it uses about 1 percent of soy protein for texture and moisture.

"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," the chain said in a statement.

So yeah, all those delicious chicken subs you had would be more accurately described as soy subs.

So is there an FDA regulation on what percentage of chicken actually needs to be chicken to be called chicken?

I guess the real answer is probably that if we let companies mislabel soy as chicken, then it's a slippery slope and eventually they'll be mislabelling rat poison as tylenol. :shrug:

This was mostly a public service because lots of GBS folks love to eat fresh, sometimes multiple times a week!

When the Taco Bell report came out that their meat was 15% filler, the company pushed back hard saying "how loving dare you accuse us of subpar beef, we take pride in our beef" and people we're generally surprised that there was actually LESS filler than they thought.

The signs at Subway say all their meats are turkey-based, so I've always assumed that extends to their weirdly shaped chicken breast puck things. I'm genuinely surprised they serve even 50% chicken.
