Subway employee says sheโs debunking what youโve heard on social media about Subway bread
She says itโs not made out of ingredients used in yoga mats and shows exactly how the bread is made
Some facts about Subway bread
- Itโs not legally โbreadโ under Irish law thanks to a 2020 Irish Supreme Court ruling. Irish law defines bread as a staple food with sugar and fat not exceeding 2% of the flour weight; Subwayโs bread had approximately 10% sugar by flour weight (5x the limit)
- The โsweet smellโ comes from that elevated sugar level (10% sugar) which causes noticeable caramelization during baking
- Subway bread contained azodicarbonamide in 2014 as a dough conditioner and bleaching agent, which 100% is used in the manufacturing of yoga mats, shoe soles, and synthetic leather
