DNA test shows only about half of Subway’s ‘chicken’ sandwich is chicken
50% real chicken, and mayo too.
Researchers ran DNA tests on the chicken used in five popular sandwiches from fast food places like McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Subway. Most of the sandwiches tested to close to 100 percent chicken—as the scientists explained, it makes sense that it’s not 100 percent chicken because of flavoring and spices.
But Subway fare scored far lower, prompting the surprised researchers to repeat the tests. Those results found that the meat in the oven-roasted Subway chicken contained 53.6 percent chicken DNA while the chicken strips were only 42.8 percent chicken. The rest of the “chicken” appeared to be mostly soy.
