Subway ingredients

Firstly, I would like to say that it was pleasing to find a comprehensive list of the ingredients of  the Subway rolls & wraps on the Internet.  Today I will discuss the breads & wraps. Tomorrow I will discuss the  meat/ poultry/ seafood components. Condiments, cookies & smoothies will be my 3rd post.

On a positive note none of the Subway breads contain the Preservative 282. Congratulations Subway!  However, the wraps contain both 282 & 200. According to their web page the wraps may also contain traces of sulphites. So it's probably best to avoid the wraps if you have asthma or a hyperactive child.

The Multigrain & Honey Oat Breads are the better choices in the bread department. Honey Oat is the only bread that does not contain canola oil; it is 9th on the ingredient list for the Multigrain bread.  On the other hand, Multigrain contains no caramel whereas Honey Oat Bread has caramel (150) listed as the last ingredient. Avoid the Italian Herbs & Cheese bread as it contains 2 forms of MSG.
Both the Wheat bread and the White bread have Canola oil (6th ingredient). Wheat bread also has added sugar & Caramel (150c).
N.B. refer to previous post on Macular Degeneration to learn about the dangers of Canola Oil.
