The Subway employee didn't hesitate to spill the beans regarding what to eat and what to avoid at the fast food chain. His revelations have some people thinking twice about what they order there!
When asked which items he would recommend and which we should avoid at all costs, he advised that customers stay away from the chipotle chicken and teriyaki chicken subs.
Why? He writes: “Chicken is given a two day shelf life, once in the counter. However these two bypass this and get four days, and can get a little stinky.”
If you're in the States, it's bad news for chicken lovers. Another Reddit user responded: “I was a subway employee for around a year here in the states and Seeing that you guys have a 2 day shelf on Chicken teriyaki amazes me.
“Our CT had a 5 day shelf and we were told that once it reaches the 5th day, to just change the date. With all of the shift changes and varying factors, we never knew how long this chicken was out(between 5-9 days). I quit after I got reprimanded for throwing out CT on the 5 day.”
Gross. At least the UK apparently has stricter standards.
He also revealed that the chicken isn't 100% meat but, as with many shop-bought cold meat products, is made up of 84% chicken with added starch and water.
And when asked what the one thing in the store was that he wouldn't eat, he again said chicken because “it stinks when it comes out the bag.”
Which is the freshest? Surprisingly, it's the steak. “I'd recommend anything else, Subway (at least my Subway) is very strict on quality control and dates. Steak is probably the freshest, and safest.”
We're longtime fans of Subway, but we see the restaurant a little differently after reading this! While much of this insider information came as a surprise, we'll probably still eat at Subway…we'll just be a little more choosy when we do!

Yes… I’ve heard this from employees also
You’re an idiot if you think any fast food is fresh or actually meat
I don’t know if I missed part of the article, but all I got out of this was don’t eat the chicken
After one visit to Jersey Mike’s I swore I would never give Subway another red cent, and I havent looked back yet.
My favorite is Italian BMT with all veggies except for jalapeños. Add a little mayo, spicy mustard, salt & pepper, Parmesan and oregano. The cold cuts may not be healthy (nitrates etc.) but it’s a great combination. Not bad every so often!
I used to work there I know the secrets to LOL don’t need to waste my time
HarleyQuinn Pallack, Waste YOUR time, What about the thousands of people who eat there? Unfortunately, I couldn’t get story to open.
Haven’t eaten there in years…
Not shocked at all
