Subway (cont)

Subway bread (cont): I can see the need to actually go into a local subway store & a) check out the breads offered  & b) analyse the ingredients with a keener eye for detail! I must admit I missed the sugar component in the Honey Oat bread (it is listed as part of the Honey Oat topping). Pity they just don't use honey instead.
There are 2 other suspicious ingredients in this bread, i.e. 'honey powder' & 'molasses powder' which I will have to investigate further. I suspect that they may can contain a form of MSG.
It is also disappointing to see that the Multigrain bread does not use whole grain wheat but with no obvious forms of MSG I thought this was the better of what is available. However, from some comments I have been informed that this is not even in store!


                                                                     





My analysis of the 'meat' has revealed the following:
1. The majority contain sodium nitrate (250); except for the 'chicken-like' products, roast beef, turkey & Veggie Patty  (if offered).
2. I use the term 'chicken-like' as the amount of real chicken ranges from 94% - 72%.
3. There is hardly any meat that does not contain 1 or more forms of MSG in it, except the turkey & veggie patty.
4. All contain Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein except the Chicken Breast Patty. ( will check if this is actually available but it still contains another form of MSG ! (Soy Protein Isolate).
5. Salt is very high on the ingredient list as is sugar, Maltodextrin, Soy Protein, & Whey Protein.
(to be continued).
