REPORT: Some chicken sandwiches from popular fast food chains may not be what you think they are by Emmanuel Ocbazghi on Mar 1, 2017, 10:21 AM A report conducted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation found that some of our favorite chicken sandwiches aren't 100% chicken. The study tested sandwiches from McDonald's, Wendy's, and Subway.
When asked for comment, Subway provided this statement to Business Insider: "The accusations made by CBC Marketplace about the content of our chicken are absolutely false and misleading. Our chicken is 100% white meat with seasonings, marinated and delivered to our stores as a finished, cooked product. We have advised them of our strong objections. We do not know how they produced such unreliable and factually incorrect data, but we are insisting on a full retraction. Producing high quality food for our customers is our highest priority. This report is wrong and it must be corrected." Wendy's and McDonald's responded to the report in statements to CBS Los Angeles: McDonald's: "Our grilled chicken sandwich is made with 100% seasoned chicken breast. The chicken breast is (a single piece) trimmed for size to fit the sandwich. We don't release the percentage of each ingredient for competitive reasons, but on the nutrition centre people can see that our grilled chicken includes seasoning and other ingredients, just like at home." Wendy's: "Wendy's Grilled Chicken Sandwich is a whole muscle chicken breast fillet; not reformed or restructured. In addition, we use only 100% Canadian chicken in Canada. For our grilled chicken sandwich and other grilled chicken products (salads, wraps, etc.) we use a juicy, all-white meat chicken breast fillet, marinated in a blend of herbs. We do not provide ingredient percentages as we consider that information to be proprietary." Follow BI Video: On Twitter
