U.S.A. FAQs - Nutrition Questions

Why is the nutrition information different on cups and napkins or in brochures?

We strive for continuous quality improvement and often try new products and formulations because of this our nutrition information may change before paper goods stock has been depleted. If you find a discrepancy check the copyright date of the materials and go by the latest date. The most recent nutritional information can be obtained from our web site www.subway.com.

Why is the cholesterol content of the chicken breast sub and salad higher than most of the other subs and salads?
There are several reasons for this:
  1. The portion of the roasted chicken in both the salad and sub is larger then the portions of other meat/poultry based sandwiches and salads.
  2. All of the other sandwich meats have a greater percentage water and/or other ingredients than the roasted chicken. As a result these meats they have lower cholesterol level than their whole meat counterparts.
  3. SUBWAY® restaurants use very lean turkey, roast beef and ham which keeps fat and cholesterol levels lower.
