⚡️🥖 NEW - Subway used to bake bread from scratch in every store, that was a core part of their branding for decades

Now bread comes pre-frozen and can’t legally be classified as bread

Subway was purchased by a private equity firm in 2023

Subway bread contains so much sugar it can’t be classified as bread due to a 2020 Irish Supreme Court ruling in a tax dispute, where Subway’s bread was deemed a confection due to high sugar content (10% of the flour weight, exceeding Ireland’s 2% threshold for bread). This was specific to Irish tax law under Value Added Tax (VAT) regulations, not a global food classification. (It remains legally bread in America because our food standards and regulation agencies are horrible)

This is always how their bread has been made. My sister worked there 20 years ago and it was always frozen dough sticks they baked in store.
