I’m a Subway employee – the secret customers don’t know and why it might gross them out

SUBWAY is known for being on the healthier side of fast food.

It’s also known for its stores’ fresh-baked bread smell, so its “Eat Fresh” slogan would seem to ring true.

However, their sandwiches may not be as fresh as they claim, according to one Buzzfeed user, who is allegedly a former employee.

The user shared the secret from their time working at the sub sandwich chain.

They claimed that they worked at Subway and that the “fresh-baked bread” listed on the menu is “wordplay.”

They wrote: “The truth is the bread comes in frozen dough sticks that we have to let thaw to put toppings on them.

“Then they go in [an] appliance that leavens the bread before it goes into the oven.”

The user also alleged that you’re most likely getting leftovers if you go to Subway in the morning for breakfast.

Interestingly enough, a Reddit user who said they worked at Subway for a “few years” claimed the same thing.

The user claimed: “Subway ‘fresh-baked bread’ is actually frozen breadsticks that turn into dough when they thaw.

“So yes, we thaw frozen breadsticks and put them in the oven.”

The Sun has reached out to Subway for comment, but they did not respond at the time of publication.

Similarly, Subway has received some heat for the quality of its “fresh” ingredients recently.

In 2021, two women filed a lawsuit claiming Subway tuna sandwiches did not actually contain any tuna.

DNA tests of tuna sandwich scoops from three different Los Angeles locations also couldn’t determine what was in them.

However, a Subway spokeswoman discounted the lab findings, contending: “DNA testing is an unreliable methodology for identifying processed tuna,” according to the New York Post.

Also in 2021, a Subway worker claimed that their restaurant served spoiled food to customers after their boss forced them to change the labels on out-of-date food.
