Subway Employee Reveals Sandwiches You Should NEVER Eat

- An anonymous Subway manager from the UK opened a Reddit thread inviting anyone to ask him/her questions about the fast food restaurant. People, of course, asked which sandwiches to avoid. The answer is kind of surprising.

O.o I have worked for this company before, and I NEVER ran into any of those issues with the chicken, and we always changed it out.
We had a rule that if you wouldn't serve it to your family, you don't serve it to the customer.
Were we really in the minority for the chain?
ikr
Yes. I've worked at Subway for a year and a half now and the chicken DEFINITELY stinks. I don't think anyone here has ever changed the date, but it's definitely been left out sometimes (much) too long.
This same issue happened with everything though not just chicken. Vegetables, meats, and sauces were never refrigerated. Once the sauce ran out is when you threw it away. Not when it expired.
Tokyo Ghoul mines always seemed good with that, never gotten such eating it.
Tokyo Ghoul
I would have been ashamed to work at your location.
Yeah...I used to work for Subway and we never had the extended shelf life for Chicken, nor did it ever smell bad. The hygiene standards were always great. It was either something this dude was doing at his particular branch of Subway, or he's making it up.
Agreed.

I worked in Germany in a Subway and can tell similar stories like the dude. But the store got shut down due to visits of the Gesundheitsamt which is pretty strict. Anyways, I think is about the franchise partner. Mine told us to relabel and never throw anything away until it is visibly unusable.
did it smell bad like normal chicken ? chicken smells bad in general
Maybe it was your Subway that was different. Their chicken sandwiches always made me sick.
As an ex subway employee, all the bread is real and fresh. We have to bake it all day and technically required to always have fresh bread. As for the chicken it comes frozen pre-sliced, then we have to put them in the portions. Never had a complaint on bad smelling chicken. If you need to watch out for anything its the tuna and the avocado. Just make sure its fresh.
Also a previous employee. Tuna and avacado < yes pay attention- not very many people ordered it at my store except a few. Also the chicken is precooked. Chicken is one of those meats that it is easy to add filler> that's where any worry, if any, should really lay. Yes the bread is made fresh but not the dough. If you go to a fast food resturant expect them to give you what you pay for.
One thing though, if the chicken always has a smell it is probably that persons particular sensitivity to it. But if it legitimately has an overpowering smell it has gone bad. But there should be a faint odor like in any meat product.
+kyle te it's not spoiled. just been there for a bit.
they are just over reacting. it has that poultry/lunch meet smell but all meet has that smell.
As an ex subway employee, I always hated prepping the chicken, because of the smell!
But the chicken really did smell though. It's true, all of the other meats had a distinct smell, but the chicken's was really awful!
I've worked at Subway for two years. The chicken's shelf life, it gets two days to thaw out and then it's not even all the way defrosted. And it gets three days in the bag and two days out in the cambro. That's it. If they're changing and not checking dates, that's the individual Subway's fault. Not every Subway. And the bread is (or should be) baked every day. That's why it always smells like bread. I smell like bread and onions every day when I leave.
It also smells like cooked and seasoned chicken. If he think that stinks. That's his issue.
yea we baked bread every day
Exactly I work there and I work graveyard shift I have to cut the veggies everyday and make sure they look fresh and clean as for the bread it's always being made throughout the day at my store and we label everything so we know when the meat was taken out at what exact time so we don't keep something over the shelf date ..
Was it a good thing for you to smell like bread and onions everyday? I used to work at dunkin donuts and smelled like coffee and crispy cream or glazed donuts everyday.
Oh jimin
You think subways bad ? You don't even want to know about Dunkin.
Yes. Yes I do. Please spill the beans.
tell me pleaseeeee
Yes and also, your SC
You're gorgeous, like 🙌🏼
what's dunkin?
Not really gonna take the word of "random anonymous Subway manager on Reddit" as reliable.
LOL around 2 minutes the girl says the chicken comes raw?? LOL she thinks Subway cooks the chicken?? LOL omg too funny. I worked there for like 3 years after highschool and can tell you most of this video is nonsense. Their sandwiches are fine and perfectly edible. They constantly rotate out the food and the dates are checked daily. The worst thing I ever saw was my coworker drop a tub of banana peppers one night when we were closing. He just scooped the peppers (off the floor) into the tub and put it away for morning. I am sure that happens in all food places at some point though. I like subway and still eat there when I want a sandwich. Sure the chicken all comes frozen (so does the roast beef and meatballs!), but I freeze meat all the time in my own freezer for later dates so I am not sure what the big deal is on that one.
thank you
Another thing worth noting is that things might be different between stores. Some stores might not be as good and efficient when it comes to rotating the food as others and stuff like that. But I'm pretty sure that subway has strict guidelines on how things should be done.
LOL! this bitch actually works for Subway corporation! she comes in saying its fine. Nice try.
Affan K. Uh used to work as an employee. Its not as if she's getting paid to comment. You really are a dingus.
"it comes portioned" ahahaha.
no.
we spend hours before and during work prepping the oz. of servings for everything.
I think he meant that it is portionned in the counter so when they make the sandwich is it really efficient
Used to be my job from 12pm to 6:30am six days a week. After my mandatory 30 minute break, I would work 6 days a week and still be under 40 hours a week.
did you mean 12am? because 12pm to 630 am minus your break is a 12 hour shift, 6 days a week would mean you were working 72 hours a week (this is with the 30 minute break removed)
ShadowWolf Yeah, we were open too, got to kick a lot of bums and junkies.
You're a god damn liar. 12pm - 6:30 am is an 18 hour shift. Even AFTER your 30 minute break you're at 17.5 hours. After 3 days a week you're over 40 hours. If you're going to lie, lie well.
chicken shipped in bags, whether cooked or raw, will smell , pork too.
I've seen , and heard worse.
example :moldy bun at arby's; burger dropped on the floor at McDonald's; woman with visible infection on ear, scra that ear, then handl money, and then handle food, at buger king; and a woman at a buffet, taste a salad with the spoin provided, and then put spoon back in salad.
If management is responsible, you should not worry, if management doesn't care, go elsewhere.

This one time my friend Cameron wiped her butt with a tortilla at Taco Bell.
please don't say sweet onion chicken teriyaki
Lol
they did unfortunately
I used to work at subway. its all the same chicken. they just add a different dressing.
I used to get sweet onion chicken teriyaki 😑
@FluffyMeow BRUH
I feel a guy like Mike would be so annoyed with a guy like Dan...
Yo! :)
0
Yo, yo. Right. Exactly.
Yi got the jokes, calling out kfc "but they're not serving you chicken"
After working at subway I did stop getting the kind of chicken they are saying not to get, because it did smell and I just felt like it was gross after prepping it. Lol I still get subway though just not that kind anymore.
I was the exact same way. When i was a kid, i would always get the chicken bacon and then when i worked there, i was like "NOPE". I just had one today after not having it for a few months and I am vouching to never have it again. It tasted horrible. After having the rotisserie chicken, I never looked back.
I worked at subway for 4 years and Dan is the type of guy I hated the most. Reason why I left the company. I hate dealing with the public. Now I'm making triple the amount in the IT field vs subway. No more Dans,yay!!!!
Honestly I've never had a teriyaki chicken sub in the US and I haven't even tried the chipotle chicken one. I would always get the BMT, add a bunch of vegetables, vinegar, olive oil (just like Yi) and black pepper. And so Dan is that annoying customer. I've worked in the food industry. Customers like Dan are really annoying but there are worse. Like super rude customers that tell you to hurry up when they took half an hour ordering because they kept talking on the phone and then complaining that I got their order wrong when in reality they ordered it wrong.
Yeah I want to blow up on customers every day haha
You are so cute O.o
I work for subway and I can tell you that the meats all come precooked and frozen in a bag, the spinach and lettuce come in bags, the bread dough also comes frozen. The pickles,banana peppers, olives, and jalapeños come in bags. The only vegetables that get cut up is tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions.
that right guy could be jackie chan's son..
I never eat at subway, I always get jimmy Johns.
JIMMY JOHNS FOR LIFE!!!!
Wish there was a JJ near me in riding distance of a bus.
If JJ is that good they shall have one on almost every street corner like Walgreens xD
+Guardian Diancie around where I live they almost do have one on every corner lol! ☺
Ashley Smith your so lucky
It broke my heart when I found out Jimmy Johns delivery stops about a mile from my apartment.
when im feeling like i'm sick and i smell subway bread, i literally throw up.
i mean... it didn't kill you lol. but chicken always smells bad right out of the bag, no matter how fresh or "organic" it is.
I work at a subway and I can tell you yes the chicken has a life of 48hrs after the bag it comes in has been opened it comes frozen but fully cooked, all meat we receive is fully cooked.. We do not keep it after 48hrs we throw it out, which we very very seldom have to because we sell it non-stop after we dish them out to the measured amount it's usually gone in several hours. The bread comes from the factory frozen 70 to a box we proof them which is what makes the bread rise and then we bake it, we apply honey oat or italian herb seasonings before we proof it by letting the bread defrost and we spray it with water and roll it. It's not any stinkier than any other meat you buy, honestly, I eat it everyday I work for free. If I didn't think it was safe to eat I wouldn't eat it. It sounds like this guy and his subway may be cutting corners and makes me surprised that Subway inspectors haven't caught that yet, because we label everything we dish out so we have the time and date it was made what is and whoever dished it their initials.
Exactly. I worked at Subway for 8 years and ate it literally every day.
We followed the rules and regulations and never once had a problem.
Thats why i only go to busy subways....busy is most likely to be fresh.........busy is best.
Healthiest way to eat is always homemade food. This way you can control what food you are buying and consuming.
So he ate these sandwiches for years, never got sick or noticed an unpleasant taste, but he's freaked out by an anonymous internet commenter claiming there was something wrong. That makes sense. /s
This doesn't surprise me. Processed chicken stinks regardless. Just go to the grocery store and buy any packaged sliced chicken. It stinks. I don't know why it stinks so much, but it has nothing to do with the chicken being bad. It's the same with canned chicken and canned tuna. They all have that stench.
Besides that, I enjoy Subway whenever I crave something vinegary.
Also, KFC is the best. 🍖🍖🍖🍖
If you think about it, all meat is decaying flesh...
it's the smell of sulphites. they put it in the saline the meat is injected with. it helps preserve the meat and makes it look plumper and taste juicier.

Maybe, but dead animals and blood smell revolting always... especially when they're rotting in a store.
Dude really? if your sandwiches were bad you would have gotten sick.
The smell is the sane because they all bake the bread there.
Subway is smart.. they don't sell the bread. why would you go to Subway if you had the bread?
lol
you can buy the bread just 1 xD
I worked at Subway for 2 years. Nothing comes raw other than the bread and cookie dough. everything comes precooked and we just thaw it. it doesn't smell pleasant, but it's basically just unseasoned chicken meat. There's nothing actually wrong with it.
Do you have any info on the new spinach/baysal wraps? What about the rotisserie chicken, is it a healthier choice?
No wonder I always have a stomach ache after I eat subway... never again
Yup, I was sadly...
+Jennifer Zhao feel bad. Could never get the chicken or egg because it always looked fake.
But it look so good, that's why I always get them like Mike...
That's worst...
I worked at KFC when I was a kid.
The raw chicken came 2 whole chickens to a bag,16 bags to a case.
When you'd open a case it smelled like sulfurous rot! No matter how fresh, the stuff would gag a maggot! I think it's just a "chicken thing" lol
I think chicken smells bad raw in general
raw chicken never smells good to start with
completely right. raw chicken just naturally has a smell to it. Noone enjoys it okay. lol
At least you know that they aren’t spitting in your food when you go to subway because they make and serve anything right where you can see everything they are doing.
If their chicken is being stored properly, in the proper method, a four day shelf life should be no problem. The place I work at does about three to four days, depending on how it was cooked, for cooked from thawed. It sounds like either location this guy works for has no clue how to properly store raw, frozen, or cooked and proper cooled meat, or their storage temps are off and they haven't done anything about it, or they are not checking the product when it is being delivered and it's already bad. Bunch of people are violating or ignoring their food handler's training.
if it just has a strong chicken smell when you open it, like a package of deli chicken meat would, or process turkey, that is not a danger sign, that's normal. But if it reeks....something at that store is not being done correctly.
I know about this stuff as I've worked in the food industry for years, and taken the handlers testing several times in two different states.
I can't really think of what you guys mean by a Subway smell though. I guess any I've been too, it's never been noticeable enough that I remembered it or realized it.
If it hasn't hurt you before, who cares? I've eaten a bunch of different sandwiches from subway, even the chicken ones. If you get sick, then you know not to go back. If not, then they are probably keeping up with the maintenance. It's the same with other fast food and restaurants. If you knew all the behind the scenes you would never eat out again. That's why I refer never to know. I just eat my food.
I generally agree. "That which does not kill me, just makes me sick." is a motto of mine. I'd rather go to subway, where I know the food will eventually go bad, then go to mcDs, where the average shelf life of a burger in a pantry is a couple years. And this next point will gross some people out, but I know how hotdogs are made, and I still eat them. Food is food.
Yah. Besides, they use processed meats. If anyone ever bothered to buy their own processed meats, they would notice that the smell is not the same as home cooked. If they want a homemade tasting sandwich, they shouldn't go to Subway. Instead, they should be hitting up the local sandwich cafes. Subway isn't known for homemade sandwiches and never claimed to be.
That whole "McD burgers are so over-processed and stuff with chemicals that they never rot" is bs, I found proof too. I got some "premium organic" meat from whole foods store and made it in the same shape/size/weight as the mcd one is and put it in organic bun, and ya know what? same effect, it didn't rot either. But I didn't just leave it sit there and not touch it. like a lot of these other people have done, I took measurements being careful to clean my tools before touching the burger. once I looked at the results of the measurements, a clear pattern formed, it had dried out effectively becoming beef jerky before the microbes that cause rot could get much of a foothold. So if this happens to a burger that I had made sure was not given any preservatives and processed as little as possible then it's going to happen to any burger of similar size/shape. I also found this weird effect only happens on their basic hamburger, the one that's on the dollar menu. their other ones are bigger and they don't dry out all the way in time and they do show signs of rotting.
I agree with you to some extent. it may not hurt you now, but can effect your body system in the future. on set symptoms of food poison can happen within that hour to 8 days depending on what contaminant you're affected with. i would just stay caution to certain foods
whytedaises
I see where your coming from and nothing wrong with being careful. But some thing I do hate about these kind of posts is first we don't know if the problem is ties to just that location or if it affects others ones as well. second we don't know if this anonymous posters has any ulterior motive, or even if he really worked there. 3rd even if he does legit work there, is honestly worried and made the statements to try to help save people from a possible chain wide problem. There is also the fact he could be wrong, we don't know what this considers a bad or weird smell, we are just assuming here.
I too was a previous subway employee and never had these issues. This has to be branch specific. My best advice is to go to a subway that is both clean and busy. The busy locations go through their supply well before the two day expiration. Also, the bread is fresh baked. If I could warn against something, it's the tuna. It's not always consistent (depending on who made it and how much Mayo is used). It's also the least ordered (or at least was at the location I worked at) So it sat the longest.
I don't care what they say.. I think it's good to train your body to eat sub par food every once in a while, it makes your digestive system stronger, and makes you better prepared for hard times when you may have to survive on scraps or crappy food.
whats with all these asian news channels?
chin news
what's up with all the white ones
Yeah I stopped eating Subway a while ago.
Ditto! I still have their card, but never use it as I hate the taste of the nearest branch's food.
The chicken strips are pretty nasty. When I open a bag of plain strips, the smell of ammonia woffs into the air. Thankfully the other chicken item and Carved turkey smell like delicious cooked meat.
Also the onions may contain human tears FYI.
how many channels do you have???? I need to know them all!
So this only applies to us subways? 1:41 there is a comment saying that uk is more strict. So does this also happen in uk?
the first time i ever ate subway was a few weeks ago, my brother ordered a foot long TERIYAKI for me...it was good :')
but i live in australia so things might be different???
army
I worked in an Australian subway and I can confirm that the hygiene standards were great; we never even remotely had any issues like the ones described in this Reddit thread
RaynorsProphet i live in aus and i had food poisoning from the teriyaki sub. to be fair though, this store is known for giving people food poisoning
lol well i felt nothing fom the teriyaki and it tasted so good tbh :')
My husband used to work at a factory that made their bread, and the only difference between the white and wheat is a small amount of extra grain, and TONS of caramel coloring. The nasty stuff in soda. The stuff California warns is a carcinogen. So if you HAVE to get subway, get the white bread.
I get Italian herb and cheese bread
+kyle te it's just white bread with herds and cheese put on it
That's because it's 90% white bread and only 10% wheat. The caramel color gave it the look of actual wheat bread. Had it actually been 100% wheat, you'd paid an $1.00 just to upgrade white bread to wheat.
what about Italian herbs and cheese? I always get that
Thank you!
Nigga on the right lookin' like Jackie Chan's nephew
I can only imagine what goes on in Subways here in China with the lax safety regulations and all...
I've never had a subway sandwich. I'm saved!
02:50 Sorry, Dan. You really weren't "literally blown away".
list for sandwiches?
I worked at a KFC franchise for 10 years as maintenance and I saw what goes on behind the scene. For the most part the food was fine but the left over chicken was what grossed me out. they would take the left over chicken, throw it in a pan of water over night in the walk-in cooler and the next day take this slimy mess and pull the chicken off to make pot pies or barbeque sandwiches. Now I never saw anyone get sick from this but just seeing the slimy chicken before they mixed it into everything else made me never want to eat any of the items they made from it.
this is why i never eat out and i grow my own food. best decision of my life.
What kind of food do you grow? Do you have like a seasonal rotation plan?
weed
all year
Congrats you're a vegan and you're a bitch
That's why I like Blimpie's and we only got four left in New York City and they make the best sandwiches ever
I thought that was an IL thing, I love that place.
Just found this channel and enjoyed the content very much. You guys just gained a new sub lol not that it matters.
I've had 3 years of working in fast food. The truth is that the quality of your food really depends more on the workers' integrity, and not the name of the store. My advice is that the best time to go is during opening to 4pm, because the best workers work during these times. It's because the restaurants need their best employees for the lunch rush that's between 11am to 2pm.
Subway was the last fast food item I ate. Turkey and ham on Italian bread, with no cheese, lots of vegetables and lots of sweet onion sauce. this was on the 19th of September last year. I have had NO take away food since then and I Am resolved to go for a year with no fast food. So far I have lost 28 kilos with no additional exercise,a my diet mainly consists of a sensible breakfast and lunch and salad and protein for dinner. whilst I have learned to enjoy loads of new things on this knew diet I have one major issue. . ... I MISS CHINESE FOOD LIKE CRAZY!!!!!
Nathan Brady amazing job!!!!!! Keep at it I’m proud of you!
I don't recommend the egg, tuna, or the seafood one (if some places have or don't have the seafood). some places make them and keep them for a couple of days.
Their shelf life is 3 days but some places don't sell an entire cambro in 3 days so they push it to 4-5 days and they shouldn't.
If you know what old tuna looks like you'll be fine. But I assume most customers don't.
Tuna runs out every day
Yo chen. I always used to get chipotle SW with extra teriyaki chicken 😂 until I saw this video. You and have the same taste. Did you also get it toasted with provolone?
I stopped eating Subway a long time ago. Their sandwiches, didn't matter what kind, made me physically ill.
just...stop eating fast food. seriously. make it at home with your own breads and meats from the market or something. :D
Subways not fast food
you do know the company that makes process food can-do the same thing
of course it's fast food. What is your criteria for fast food? Just because things aren't deep fried and greasy it's no fast food?
ok mom
Christina Izbaşa no
Subway is like a faux-healthy, gimmicky McDonald's - both sell junk, but McDonald's at least lists ingredients on their website!
Subway here in the UK has a *very* artificial taste to their bread. The last one I had was a veggie one and it honestly put me off their food for life. Real Bread all the way!
You dont work at Subway dont you?🤣
you guys are so much fun❤
The subway I got before our branch closed (No idea why as it did well) was the Italian BMT on Italian herbs and cheese bread toasted with cheese and lettuce onion and pickle topped with either ranch or chipotle. Havent had subway in two years tho!
Veggie sandwich. Veggie delight.
same i get all the veggies, wheat bread with extra jalapenos and spicy mustard :} thats the actual lowest cal order
Same. Veggie on the flatbread. (y)
Edit: No cheese, either.
I eat this with the sweet onion sauce... Delicious!
Yep! I eat mine like this:
Italian bread (toast it first)
Guac.
Lettuce
Spinach
Tomato
Cucumber
Red Onion
Yellow Mustard
Salt and Pepper.
but... but... I don't wanna die :-(
Yeah. I always get the meatball sub. 😂
Love Soobway. Lol, Dan is really high maintenance.
Don't. Especially in the summer, because they don't sell it and they just keep reheating it and watering it down if it gets too thick
Ashlea G Okay, thanks.
I have an open opinion question. Is it OK, at any fast food place, to ask for things off of a burger,(I.e. no tomatoes) but not add anything on. I always figured it would be easier, but I don't know if I'm being a pain in the ass.
I work at a Subway restaurant, and the chicken has always been fresh and never stinky. We NEVER serve "bad" or expired food, PERIOD!
if u buy ur food and make it at home u will know what ur eating why do people eat out so much I use to eat out a lot now I save more money and I eat better lost 55 pounds eating at home
some people have a life that's not so much "why can't I just eat at home"
they actually can't go home and make a meal because they're always on the rush. I know there are fat ass people that actually eat out even though they can actually cook. btw there are other restaurants out there that have better options not just crap food...
yeah true
some homes do not have proper kitchens. it is hard to cook at home without an oven or a fridge(and assuredly the tiny portable ones are super expensive to run and hold very little)
I don't think the "stinky chicken" is because it's raw, Yi. It's more that's it's gone bad. and it's not fine once it's been REHEATED (it should already be cooked by the time they receive it in the store.). No, I was never an employee, but I do recognize the taste and smell of deli meat gone bad, especially poultry. On occasion, I have opened up my sandwich to bad meat but can't return it because I'm already on the train on the way home from work. I think the safest sandwich would probably be the meatball. I've never experienced anything bad (except that the meatballs are too small. Lol). Also, most of the time, the veggies are good. Sometimes the tomatoes are questionable, but mostly a-ok. Just my opinion and experience, everyone! Thanks for listening! P.S. I love that Yi's on with you guys. The voice of reason in a soft tone. Love ya! 😎
The meatballs have almost no meat in them. It's mostly bread and cheese filler.
Exactly. You don't need to be an employee to be able to smell bad meat. How has this gone unnoticed for so long??
The meatballs have a 4 hour shelf life. Most of the time they don't all sell in 4 hours so the label is just changed to extend the shelf life
You're right, it is precooked. There is a smell, I used to work there. But the smell is no different then the smell leftover chicken gives you. This manager may be like my manager was- never worked a day on floor but ran the financials- managers have so much to do? that is behind the scenes they generally dont know most of the process. As a previous employee I would state the safest sub would be the one with the least handling, which means no veggies or deli meat [assorted]. Well.. veggies can include lettuce and olives.. pickles.. anything that required some sort of pickling. The sliced veggies are all done in the store- people touching it. The deli meats are manually stacked for assorted subs- people touching it. Dont eat the tuna- it sits there till it is gone so unless they are bringing out a new one it has sat at 4 degrees since the store opened that morning. Oh and Seafood is kingcrab- same rules for the tuna. The cheese is manually stacked. Granted you are required to wear gloves for all of these processes. But for perspective, my first day i went through a lot of gloves [almost a box] to pre-assemble one days worth of assorted subs- I can see employees willingly skipping gloves for that step- that meat is covered in sooo much fat you cannot maneuver well and the job they expect to be done in 20 somethingish mins turns into an event.
The meatball is actually the worst thing you can buy at Subway in terms of freshness.
You're supposed to toss out the meatballs and make new ones every 4 hours. Most stores DO NOT DO THIS. You'll see it being dark around the edges and it'll have a metallic taste/smell.
The stores I worked at all threw it out after 4 hours, but a lot of stores I've been to do not. One of the stores I was a manager at use to make meatballs at night then put the leftovers in the fridge at the end of the night so they wouldn't waste any. (Then reheat / serve them in the morning) So they were serving people 13-20 hour old meatballs....when the shelf life once cooked is 4 hours!! Needless to say that changed very quickly because I was not having my name put on that kind of unsanitary practice.
I ate my first subway sandwich 4 years ago and I vomited couple hours later. I never ate there again.
The food is preped and usually used within a day, I work there and you take the food out of the bag put it into the bins wrap it and tag it and it's usually gone in a couple hours or the next day.
I currently work at Subway, and have for 8 months now. I'm not sure what it's like at other Subways but where I work, this has never been an issue. We've never had chicken that last more than 2 days. I personally don't like our chicken, but that's because I think it's dry. Not like juicy chicken that I'd expect. Our location is on a college campus so we go through about 700 sandwiches a day on average. Idk if that matter, but it may have something to do with not having some 4 day policy. Also I work mainly as the prep guy, so I smell the chicken all the time. It has never smelled bad to me. I actually love the smell of the teriyaki sauce lol
The bread has a unique smell ... Do any of you cook from scratch? smh. Good to know about the chicken though.
To deride the entire fast food industry as unhealthy is unfair and untrue. Most restaurants - yes, even McDonalds do their best to get the best quality ingredients they can because making people sick is not good business.
(Yes I have seen "Supersize Me" and I think it is also unfair to base an opinion on the results of one person - who, to be truthful, was changing his diet radically from what he was used to eating. He was also driving a lot and thus getting far less exercise than he was accustomed to getting at the same time.
A proper study would/should have at least several hundred people, if not several thousand embark on a similar course of action (but without the radical change in activity levels) before making such claims. )
***** That's a ridiculous claim on it's face. Some people can't even cook and most use the same ingredients as are used in a restaurant. Do you think that flour mills and the like are bound to sell only to big business or only to grocery chains? They just package the product differently for bulk use.
I was a subway employee a few years ago. This was never a problem for us.
that's what involve in any "fast" / "instant" food product i suppose. even frozen pack such as curry rice, meatball spagetti/ etc. sold in the convenient store also like that.
Is that jackie chan's brother?
Vault Dweller im dead
Yeah m8, the reason why the bread tastes and smells like that is because it's the same stuff they make yoga mats with.
As soon as the yoga mats get soaked enough,it goes to the restaurant,SUBWAY,EAT FRESH!!
lmao. plastic and molesters. subway's the best
+Jasmine Wilder Just ate there today👍

Twiggy the lizard Well then, there's more than just a few of the kid fuckers in that place then.
Well... I work for a Subway, and I have to say... if that manager is serving stinky chicken, he should be fired! At my store, we don't tolerate anything that is even questionable. If anyone says something is off, we toss it out! we won't serve under or over ripened tomatoes, we rotate the meat and veggies out pretty much every single day, with very few exceptions... wherever that manager worked... they need to get shut down!
I worked with Subway both inside and outside of stores. The smell in the bag is the gas they put in the bag to help preserve the meats flavor during shipping. The shelf life is set at 48 hours on chicken and any variant to that is not following Subway policy. The chicken is safe I would still eat it.
I worked at Subway in two separate locations. This is b.s., the chicken is frozen and is cooked in microwave, then sauce is added, the bbq chicken comes ready to serve as well. The only things I wouldn't eat is tuna or crabmeat. It comes in a huge can and frozen, and is just mixed with huge bags of mayo. The seasoning is what smells on the chicken, buy any precooked chicken in the store and it smells the same. The veggies, bread, and cookies are usually a day to two days old. You only get fresh if they are out of stuff, and prep keeps that from happening.
Yi you were cracking me up at the end there. :)
I personally liked Subway. I just got turkey, ham, lettuce, tomato, mayo and that was it. I still get that at Jersey Mike's, but Jersey's is too dry not to mention EXPENSIVE.
The bread smell in every store is actually because of the yeast in the bread...bread is baked in the store everyday. First it goes in the puffer which activates the yeast making the bread rise. Thats what gives off the smell. Then the bread is prepped with toppings if needed and baked.
opening a bag of subway meat, any meat, is like a fart blowing in your face, coming from a former employer.
I worked at subway for almost a year, and the chicken never smelt bad. And it does only have a two day shelf life, same as other foods. But usually its only in there max one day, as we made a new batch every day, and sometimes in the afternoon we would make more when we ran out of the morning batch. And the chicken is frozen until 1 day max before we have to use it.
The bread, I've heard, contains something that is used as a preservative that is also a component found in yoga mats. I haven't eaten subway since i read that, about 2 years ago.
Who in the hell gets surpsised by the smell of chicken? You want factories to start spraying food with Febreeze?
Rest assured, Maccas workers generally won't spit in your food. We have cameras literally friggin everywhere in kitchen and front counter so we can be caught stealing nuggets or whatever, and if anyone is caught being unhygienic on purpose it's an instant out.
I mean, I'm in Australia, but I've worked across most of the stores in my state, and met all of the store owners locally.
I work at Subway when you open the chicken bag it stinks so badly. after a while it goes away. The Chipotle and Teriyaki is Literally the roast chicken mixed in southwest chipotle or teriyaki sauce. the shelf life of chicken products is 2 days after defrost. veg is 7 days
What about that new rotisserie chicken? I got it the other day exactly how it was In the picture and it was awesome!
I call shenanigans on this supposed employee. Worked for Subway for 4 years and NEVER had these issues. Everything was fresh and very sanitary always.
I love you're videos!! You guys are awesome!! 😊💖💖😊
I used to be a McDonald's manager and I told my family not to eat anything with cheese and tomatoes in the summer. Why? Because every restaurant l worked at had flys that ALWAYS went straight to the cheese and tomatoes. They also all had bug zapper lights in the grill area. Try making sandwiches with that sound in your ears for the whole shift.
I worked at subway. I agree with that. The chicken brest is so processed. you don't see it when it's cooked but it's basically ground chicken meat moulded into shape with black marking to make it look grilled.
i used to work for subway and would go between the three sister stores in my town, in two if them it was perfectly acceptable to cut around moldy veg and i was actively told NOT to wash any of the bread molds in any store. you soak it in the cleaning solution and then rinse and put it against the drainer to dry. many molds had little chunks of bread but they were left on. i left after just a month and have not eaten there since
i work at wendys and i overheard my manager say that the "blood" in thr meat packages was actually food colouring and that its not 100% beef. he said it a "mix of beeg and probably horse."
I worked in soobway long time. Yes chicken stinks but it smell like sweaty chicken, because it is processed chicken which been defrosted. There is many bad smell thing like tuna or teriyaki, honey mustard, it is because it is cheap made food, If you paying less for food than local restaurant do not expect something in the same level of taste. If you eat every day for a year I don't know who you could have any good opinion. Most of the sandwiches taste the same or taste like sos you putted on. take any sandwich without sos on it like teriyaki or meatballs, and put southwest sauce, it will taste almost identical.
these kinds of things happen in more processing environments than people realize.
the reason it was stinking out of the bag was because it came from at least one other processing environment that also bended and broke all kinds of rules for the sake of profit.
never really had a problem with subway till i moved cities and that is when i noticed that not all subway are the same. The quality of the food and eve taste at times differs which is odd as you would think it be the same. Im glad that the subway i do go to now is often busy so i have less of a chance to run into those old food problems
I can stand behind this 100 percent. I managed a subway for 2 years and the owner made us use and sell out of date product. Yes, the meats smell to high hell when you opened the bag. Also the breads are so full of chemicals. I tested this, I baked a loaf and set it out for a month and no change except hardness. The field consultants don't really care either. They just want financial growth for the subway brand. SUBWAY IS NASTY AND GREEDY!
I used to work at a subway and I can honestly say that the chicken was precooked and frozen. It did give off an aroma but I think it wasn't really that bad compared to the smell of some of the other stuff when freshly opened
Not bad guys, I subbed. I can see you guys are really trying to make the channel grow and this is my fine time watching.
I used to clean out the dressing bottles first,then fill them. I used to complain to the manager but when he wasn't there they do what they want.
I worked at Chipotle for a year and I gotta say that I don't have any problem customising guests food. They have to eat it, not me!
