Representatives from Subway have confirmed in a response to an online petition that they will "eventually" stop using azodicarbonamide, a chemical found in yoga mats and shoe rubber, as an ingredient to make its signature breads.

 

Without going into further detail Subway released the following statement, "The complete conversion to have this product out of the bread will be done soon,"

 

Vani Hari, an activist who rallies against the use of chemical ingredients in the hopes of forcing companies to use healthier choices, began the petition which currently sits around 60,000 signatures. 

 

The chemical is also currently used only in the American markets with European and Australian chains barred from using it by their respective government agencies...... for obvious reasons.

Just curious here, when they're trying to sell me a footlong sandwich do they really mean somthing different? 

Wow! Good thing I don't each at subway haha!

Yeah, I haven't eached there for awhile either.

Hate to say it, but azodicarbonamide is used in quite a few products, especially bread based ones.  Hot dog and hamburger buns, sliced breads, bagels, many types of frozen meals, etc.  Unless you look at the ingredients list on things or grow your own stuff, you never know what you're eating now.

Oh yeah, absolutely this 100% Spawn. 

 

The only problem I have is how little we know about our actual food and what chemicals so really slip through into things.  Pretty interesting to see what's allowed here in the US and what is outright banned in other countries too.

So when they say the food is a bit rubbery .... they REALLY mean rubbery lol.

I logged in to see if there was any new stuff posted....as I opened my sandwich from subway.

Ima go eat my shoes now to get the taste out of my mouth.

Eh, what doesn't have bad shit in it nowadays? Not unless you're growing it yourself.

That's it, I'm drinking my own pee from now on.

There's chemicals in everything, and we're all going to die. Not to mention that the particular chemical is found in almost all breads and doughy goods that are mass produced.

I ate subway today. It was delicious.
