Are you a regular Subway eater?

Investigation shows Subway's 'chicken' contains only about 50 percent chicken DNA

The CBC teamed up with researchers at Trent University's Wildlife Forensic DNA Laboratory to test the chicken at five major fast-food restaurants -- and the results were harrowing....

The study found that Subway's oven roasted chicken only contained about 53.6 percent chicken DNA, and the sweet onion chicken teriyaki strips had just 42.8 percent....

So, if Subway's "chicken" isn't chicken ... what exactly is it

The rest of the "chicken" is probably soy protein (think tofu). It is bland and neutral and can be flavored as almost anything. You can't have strips of real chicken and globs of soy in a sandwich so the chicken is probably pureed, mixed with soy protein, flavorings, etc., then extruded into pieces that look like chicken.
