We use only chicken – with added marinade, spices and seasoning. Producing high-quality food for our customers is our highest priority. Our chicken is and has always been 100% real chicken.
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.
A DNA analysis of the poultry in several popular grilled chicken sandwiches and wraps found at least one fast food restaurant isn't serving up nearly as much of the key ingredient as people may think. In the case of two popular Subway sandwiches, the chicken was found to contain only about half chicken DNA.

Our Oven Roasted Chicken and chicken strips are made from 100 percent all white meat chicken. The chicken is mixed with spices, seasoning and marinade then cooked and seared to perfection. When we add spices and seasoning to the marinade, we also add – in some regions – dried soy protein, like a spice.
Looking at the overall meal, the Subway meal in terms of protein and sugar was slightly healthier than McDonald's and provided more vegetables, however it was higher in sodium. Remember both meals contributed the same total number of calories but on top of that, it was a large amount of calories.
At least 97% of our chicken-on-the-bone, fillets and strips are regularly delivered fresh (not frozen) into our restaurants from reputable Aussie chicken suppliers like Inghams, Steggles and Golden Farms.

The chicken in your Subway chicken sandwich might not contain very much chicken meat at all. A recent study conducted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has found that the sandwich chain's chicken meat contains about only about 50 percent chicken DNA — or about half as much as fresh chicken from a supermarket.
"The allegation that our chicken is only 50% chicken is 100% wrong," Subway president and CEO Suzanne Greco said in the statement. Marketplace, meanwhile, says it "stands by its report" — as does the lab that did the testing — and the show has released "additional detail about the methodology and investigation."
“As part of Subway's ongoing transformation journey, we are rolling out deli meat slicers to restaurants across the U.S., elevating the quality of our protein offerings even further,” a Subway spokesperson tells TODAY.com. “Our goal is to have freshly sliced meats in all U.S. restaurants by summer 2023.”
Unlike some of its competitors, Subway's restaurants have never sliced any of its sandwich meats on-site, instead slicing them in one central facility and shipping the meats to each location.

"Our new plant-based T.L.C. Sub will delight both our vegan and non-vegan fans – we've created a product that tastes so much like our flavour-full chicken breast strips, guests will be surprised it's not the real thing," said Angelina Gosal, head of marketing UK & Ireland at Subway.

Subway: Chicken and Bacon Ranch Melt
Subway is supposed to be one of the healthiest fast-food chains in America, but despite offering unlimited vegetable toppings for all of their subs, their chicken and bacon ranch melt is one of the most caloric items on this list.
One of the things that sets Subway healthy and apart from other fast-food chains is the ability to customize your sandwich to your liking. You can choose from a wide range of vegetables to add to your sandwich and make healthier choices at Subway. Subway also offers salads that can be customized to your preference.
