Ireland's Value-Added Tax Act allows "staple" foods, including bread, to be exempt from certain taxes. But the law only allows bread's sugar to be a maximum of 2 percent of the weight of flour, otherwise it's more of a pastry. Not only does Subway's bread recipe have more than the allotted sugar amount, it has five times more. The case was brought to the court by an Irish franchisee who was hoping to get a tax refund. It clearly did not work out in their favor. The franchisor was none too pleased either, pushing back against the ruling — without arguing the court's reasoning.
They issued a statement , saying "Subway's bread is, of course, bread. We have been baking fresh bread in our restaurants for more than three decades and our guests return each day for sandwiches made on bread that smells as good as it tastes. Subway was able to establish itself as one of the quick-service restaurant giants by promoting itself as the healthier alternative to traditional fast food.
But the healthy reputation isn't entirely accurate. In general, Subway does offer a wider array of healthier options than the average burger joint. But you need to be careful what you order, and what you're adding on to that order. Although many sandwiches are low in things like sugar, they often have bloated fat and sodium levels.
And the restaurant does its best to hide this, as one former employee explained. What you can't read is the small print on the menu, which specifies that these values are only for a six-inch sub, on 'standard recipe' nobody knows what the [heck] that is white bread, with no cheese or sauce.
Therefore, you can easily be tricked into thinking you're getting a low-fat, low-calorie sandwich. But if you're ordering a foot-long sandwich with cheese and sauce which 99 percent of the customers do, according to the employee , you're roughly tripling those numbers.
Restaurant customers are entitled to the reasonable expectation that their food is clean and won't make them sick. After all, people won't go back to restaurants that give them food poisoning! But if we are to believe former Subway employees, the sandwich chain doesn't always pass that minimum standard.
According to multiple people on Reddit who have worked at Subway stores, it is common for the restaurant to not wash the vegetables it serves. One employee stated, "Our manager told me not to bother washing or rinsing boxed vegetables like green peppers and tomatoes," adding that, "at least a few of them are rotten every time. Another former employee had even worse stories to tell. In addition to agreeing with the unwashed vegetable claim, they also said that the same slicer used to cut dirty vegetables was then used to cut deli meat without being washed first.
One more food safety violation accusation involved olives and peppers, which the employee said come delivered to the stores in bags. That means that while we wash the dishes using industrial strength sterilizer, your peppers and olives are getting splashed with it. Checkout Simplemost for additional stories.

Subway can make your dreams come true. In the United States , turkey and tuna are the most popular Subway sandwich choices, but with 37 million different ways to make a sandwich, you can easily tweak one of those choices to your very own specifications. Having a sandwich that tastes exactly like you want it to taste certainly makes it extra delicious, wouldn't you say? If 37 million sandwich choices is just too much for you — but nothing on the menu board sparks your taste buds — you can also order off Subway's secret menu.
One of the more typical secret menu items is the pizza sub. You just order red tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and a sprinkling of oregano. After that baby is heated up you'll have your very own personal pizza. For you meat lovers out there, you can ask for the Carnivore off the secret menu. That baby has four scoops of steak, six slices of pepperoni, and a whopping eight pieces of bacon.
An oldie but a goodie that Subway discontinued from the menu in is the chicken Parmesan , but for those in the know all you have to do is ask for roasted chicken breast, marinara sauce, olives, a few pieces of spinach, and a big helping of provolone cheese.
If you can find a secret menu item from Subway that strikes your fancy, there's no doubt your order will be delicious, every single time. Subway is known for baking their bread fresh in store, and you can smell it before you even leave your car. With varieties like Italian, Italian herbs and cheese, 9-grain wheat, and multi-grain flatbread, there are even more ways to make your sandwich just the way you like it. Some locations even offer Jalapeno cheese and rosemary and sea salt bread variations.
The Subway bread hasn't always been the same as it is today, back in a food blogger discovered that the bread contained a chemical called azodicarbonamide, which is also used in the creation of yoga mats.
Since then, Subway has phased out this unpleasant ingredient. Some people find the smell of the Subway bread incredibly unpleasant, where others love the smell of the fresh baking bread. Love it or hate it, it has been debunked that no, Subway does not intentionally vent the smell of the bread onto the street to attract hungry passersby. Still, we have to admit, that smell hitting you in the face as you walk in certainly does make that sandwich taste better once it's finally in your hands.
Subway has ten fresh vegetable varieties including lettuce, red onions, spinach, cucumbers, banana peppers, green bell peppers, black olives, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, and pickles. Avocados are also offered seasonally at most locations for a small up charge. Keeping their menu full of fresh vegetables is a smart choice for Subway, because not only does it appeal to customers trying to eat healthier or trying to get their kids to eat healthier , one of the core customers of Subway are millennials , and millennials sure do love their fresh veggies.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, millennials prefer to eat more fruits and vegetables over grains and meats.
