Promote Well Being

We’re making better living way easier. As consumers Search for Better®, we’re helping our guests live balanced lives and serving up better-for-you-options.

Through collaboration and progressive quality control practices, our goal is to mitigate food safety and security risks in all markets.

Food safety and quality are top priorities at Subway®. Our goal is to serve food that consistently meets the highest quality and safety standards – from the time it is grown, harvested or caught to when it is put into a sandwich or salad in our restaurants.

Our high standards for food safety ensure that our guests are getting the quality they expect from the Subway® brand. All approved facilities that supply food to Subway® restaurants, undergo a rigorous third-party audit for food safety, HAACP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) and GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices). In addition, our auditing process ensures that good agricultural and harvesting practices (GAP’s and GHP’s) are used by our agricultural suppliers.

We care about food. Where it comes from and how it nourishes us is just as important as how it tastes."

Subway® provides mandatory training for franchisees and their staff on the importance of food safety. All team members are trained and required to follow safe food handling and monitoring processes, which include handwashing policies, product temperature monitoring and strict shelf-life procedures.

Our food safety policies are at least as stringent as the guidelines for both the FDA’s Food Code and The National Restaurant Association's Serve Safe® program. Whenever a local code differs from these guidelines, our policy is that the restaurant must always follow the most stringent policy.

Approach to Well-being Topics

Menu Transparency and Labeling

At Subway®, we believe in providing complete and accurate nutrition information and clear ingredient listings. As a global brand, it is important for Subway® to provide simple, fact-based, and easy-to-understand information so that our guests can make an informed menu selection that meets their individual dietary and lifestyle needs. All nutrition and ingredient details are compiled and reviewed by nutritionists and nutrition information is verified routinely by third-party accredited laboratories.

GMOs

At Subway®, we are committed to producing great-tasting meals of the highest quality in every part of the world, ensuring that all of our products meet or exceed appropriate safety and quality standards.

The use of bioengineered agricultural produce ingredients (aka GMOs) is safe. Many of the most influential regulatory agencies and organizations that study food safety, including the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the American Medical Association, the World Health Organization, Health Canada, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the National Academy of Sciences have found that bioengineered ingredients are safe and that there are no negative health effects associated with their use. We recognize that guests may still be concerned about the use of GMO ingredients, so some markets may choose to restrict their use.
