It looks high to me too - the site I linked to (YUM Brands - parent company of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell…etc) bases it’s DV on a 2000 calorie diet and it says for fat the amount consumed should be “less than 65g”.
Just for grins I went back and configured a meal with 2 breasts original recipe, a side of mashed potatoes and gravy and a side of coleslaw and a medium pepsi and got a grand total of 1260 calories and 53.5 grams of fat.
A whopper with cheese with a medium fries and a medium Coke has 1390 calories and 68g of fat.
That would make Cinnabon diet food, according to KFCs own reasoning.
I wonder what the results would be if you ate a whopper with cheese and bacon with a large fries and large coke, followed by a Cinnabon? I’m smelling lawsuit!
My brother, who also did time as a Subway employee, warned me to never ever eat the tuna. He says the same tuna can sit out for several days before it’s gone.
I was thinking about the McDonald’s lawsuits that were denied, and KFC’s newest marketing BS.
Does KFC understand that by putting their brand out there as diet food, or healthy food, that they risk a lawsuit from people who wish not to take responsibility for their health?
I really hope their staff lawyers are trying to pull this ad because the reason the McD’s lawsuits were denied was because McD’s never claimed to be healthy. KFC now does…
Fuck all you healt concious assholes!! I REALLY didn’t wanna know what the fat content of my favorite food was. Damn you all to McDonalds for ruining my wonder fat filled life.
Now I gotta go to Popeyes and get me some healthy red beans and rice…
you really shouldn’t have asked that. He’s probably going to post a 4000 word diatribe about the evils of the atkins diet consisting of vauge jogging metaphors and how his daughter’s playgroup represents the free market.
I was wondering if it was to keep them out of the next lawsuit that will surely come up in a different district. “But…but…it couldn’t be us - we have less fat than A, B, and C!”
Not at my Subway. It’s popular enough that we use up at least one (sometimes two) inserts-worth per day, so the turnover is fairly quick. If unmixed tuna or seafood salad sits in the fridge for more than 3 days, it gets tossed.
Subways are franchises, so quality of food safety/enthusiam of employees can vary from location to location, depending on how badly the staff is treated. We have a wonderful owner and 90% of our employees do their job well. If any of you want a cheap sub, come to Subway on Peel street (Between St. Catherine and Rene-Levesque) between 5 PM and closing time on weekdays, ask for Emma, and say “Hi, Opal!”

I will second Kung fu lola’s rebuttal above. Having worked in three different stores over a couple of years, I can say that the length of time anything took to sell not only depends on the individual store, but also on the time of year. Tuna tends to sell a lot better in the summer in my experience, just as the melts and other hot samwiches tended to sell better in the winter. On top of that, as lola mentioned, the rules say that any mixed tuna (or seafood) that hasn’t been used in 3 days has to be thrown out. If your brother’s subway doesn’t at least do that, it’s them that have the problem.
And even at 2 or 3 days, it’s not like the stuff isn’t refridgerated the whole time, so there is almost no chance anything will go bad in that time.
Mind you, I wouldn’t eat the tuna there for other reasons (all it is is tuna + gobs of mayo, and I hate mayo and don’t really like tuna), but unless a store has a tendency to handle their meat poorly or ignore dates and standards, I wouldn’t be worried about eating it.
