Subway Joins Companies Dropping Artificial Ingredients

The sandwich chain known for its marketing itself as a fresher alternative to hamburger chains told The Associated Press it will remove artificial flavors, colors and preservatives from its menu in North America by 2017. The purging of artificial ingredients is quickly becoming the norm among major food companies, which are facing pressure from smaller players that tout their offerings as more wholesome. While older generations looked at nutritional stats like fat and calories, he said younger generations are more concerned about qualities like local, ''organic and natural. Last year, Subway's image took a hit when food activist Vani Hari, known as the Food Babe, launched a petition calling on it to remove azodicarbonamide from its bread, noting the ingredient was used in yoga mats.

BING NEWS:
  • Subway is dropping the price of its footlong subs to $6.99. Why that still may not win back customers.
    The $5 footlong may not be coming back anytime soon to Subway, but the sandwich chain is rolling out a limited-time $6.99 deal that seems aimed at quieting concerns about high menu prices.
