The allegation that our chicken is only 50 percent chicken is 100 percent wrong." Dave Theno, the Chief of Food Safety at Subway, maintained that the chicken is 100 percent chicken, saying, "Our chicken is 100 percent white meat with seasonings, marinated, cooked, and delivered to our restaurants.
The claims made in the story are false and misleading. 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.
Our U.S. Ingredients

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.

McChicken Sandwich® - 100% Chicken Breast Meat.
This crispy, juicy, tender sandwich is a special kind of delicious—with our crispy chicken fillet made with all-white meat, crinkle-cut pickles and buttered potato roll—did we mention it comes in Deluxe and Spicy too?
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.
Nearly all fresh and frozen raw chicken meat available in Australia is in fact 'born, bred and raised' in Australia. Our chickens have been grown on Australian farms, and processed in Australian processing plants, to the strictest of Australian standards.
Note: Ready-to-eat cooked chicken meat from New Zealand is the only poultry meat that can be imported into Australia.

The Nugget Math: McDonald's McNugget
For illustrative purposes, that leaves 66% of the nugget left to be the “chicken” in our chicken nugget. Taking our previous all-white chicken example (chicken is 90% protein and 10% fat): we would expect this remaining 66% of the nugget to be ~7% fat and ~59% protein.
Rotisserie Style Chicken
The Rotisserie Chicken is one of the healthiest Subway sandwiches, with fresh chicken and crispy veggies on wheat bread. It's just 350 calories and 29 grams of protein.
Seasoned chicken breast, lettuce, pickles, and smoky honey mustard sauce served warm and toasty on our new potato bun made with Canadian potatoes.
Unfortunately no Subway store in Australia offers a certified Halal menu and they do not ask their suppliers to source Halal certified products. Subway Australia uses the leading national meat suppliers across Australia, the same ones that you see in major supermarkets.
