A recurring topic in various forums is if vegans can get something to eat at Subway. I emailed Subway about nutritional information( it isn’t on their site ) and I thought I would share the info. An excerpt from their email starts below the “==” line

Hey Steve,
Thanks for posting this. I’ve held these options in the back of my mind for travel, but thankful that I never broke down when traveling to buy one! I haven’t been to Subway for a long time, but I do hold them as an “outside” possibility every now and again.
I seem to recall Subway having one bread that contained only plant-based ingredients with the exception of honey (their honey wheat, maybe…or something like that) — which some “vegans” will eat. Did your research find otherwise? Then just piling on their veggies seems suitable then as an option….or did I miss something?
Again, thanks!
peace in,
lori
Hi Lori;
I don’t know. I wrote away to Subway for the information above about 1 – 2 years ago. I got the impression that keeping track of their ingredients and the concerns of veg*ns are not their concern.
Nice to see you posting ! š
