Thanks to Team Trump and MAHA, Americans are paying much closer attention to what’s actually in their food. For decades, we’ve been ingesting slop and not asking enough questions. We were told to “trust the labels,” regulators, and Big Food. But thankfully, that conversation has completely shifted, and now Americans are reading ingredient labels, asking why so many processed foods are packed with chemicals they can’t pronounce, and wondering why products sold overseas contain fewer questionable additives than what we’re eating here.

Of course, awareness doesn’t mean the processed food problem has been magically fixed. Yes, there’s growing momentum to clean up America’s food supply, but companies are still rolling out products that make people stop and ask, “What the hell is that?” The latest example of this questionable food comes from the folks at Subway. Yes, the same people who went through the dreaded “yoga mat” bread…

CBS News:

Subway, the popular sandwich chain, has announced the ingredient dubbed the “yoga mat chemical” will be entirely phased out of its bread by this week.

The disclosure comes after Subway suffered from an onslaught of bad publicity sparked by a food blogger who petitioned the chain to remove the ingredient.

And who can forget the claims that their tuna was anything but tuna?

Fox Business:

Subway is on the hook for its tuna once again after a lab report found there’s no actual tuna DNA in its sandwiches and wraps.

The New York Times had 60 inches of Subway tuna sandwiches from three different restaurants in Los Angeles lab tested after the chain was accused in a lawsuit reported earlier this year, alleging the fish is made from “a mixture of various concoctions,” first reported by the Washington Post.

The tuna was frozen and sent out to the lab, which determined “no amplifiable tuna DNA was present in the sample and so we obtained no amplification products from the DNA. Therefore, we cannot identify the species,” according to the Times.

Subway claims it is tuna, but it’s so heavily processed and mixed with so much mayo, the DNA was lost.

Now, we’ve got very weird-colored hotdogs that are giving people online the creeps.

Thankfully, this bizarre-looking hot dog is launching in Canada, not the US… at least for now.

Wall Street Apes:

Subway launched hot dogs called the SubDog and people are noticing it looks very unappetizing and the color seems very dark

I looked up the ingredients. They are:

“Beef, water, corn syrup solids, modified corn starch, salt, potassium lactate, sodium phosphate, sodium diacetate, dextrose, sodium erythorbate, garlic powder, spice extractives, sodium nitrite, smoke”

These are dangerous ones

Sodium nitrite (curing/preservative): Prevents bacterial growth (e.g., botulism) and gives the pink color. When heated or in the body, it can form nitrosamines, which the World Health Organization and IARC classify processed meats as carcinogenic (Group 1). Linked to increased colorectal cancer risk with frequent consumption

Yes you read that right, LINKED TO CANCER

Sodium phosphate / Potassium lactate / Sodium diacetate: Used for texture, moisture retention, and preservation. High phosphate intake is sometimes associated with kidney strain or bone health issues in excess, but levels here are typical for processed foods.

Sodium erythorbate: Antioxidant that speeds curing and prevents spoilage. GRAS loophole

It’s launched mainly in Canada right now but man does this thing look questionable

At nearly 1,300 calories a dog, this one lunch packs about 65% of the average woman’s recommended daily calories and more than half of the average man’s. That’s a lot to swallow before you’ve even ordered a drink or chips.

We also looked up the ingredients for a Schneider’s hotdog, the brand Subway is using for their new “sandwich.” Here’s what’s listed online:

Schneider’s® All Beef Hot Dogs are crafted with premium cuts of beef and a signature spice blend that includes:

Beef, WaterSugars (corn syrup solids, dextrose)Modified corn starch, SaltPotassium lactate, Sodium phosphate, Sodium diacetate, Sodium erythorbate, Garlic powder, Spice extractives, Sodium nitrite, Natural smoke

It’s interesting timing. Just as MAHA Action Committee Chair Gary Brecka is sounding the alarm that America’s entire food system was created to make people sick, Subway is rolling out a hot dog packed with ingredients that have people raising eyebrows.

The Vigilant Fox:

Gary Brecka, who chairs Bobby Kennedy’s MAHA action committee, says America’s food system was engineered to make you sick on purpose.

He’s careful with his words for most of the interview. Not here. Brecka argues the disastrous dietary guidelines Americans grew up trusting were never an accident.

BRECKA: “That food pyramid wasn’t architected by accident. Lucky Charms wasn’t more nutritious than grass-fed steak by accident. Highly processed foods didn’t make it to the top of the chart. That was intentional.”

“We are undoing decades of intentional malfeasance that, in my opinion—not to be a conspiracy theorist—was designed to make the American population sick and more dependent on drugs.”

DR. PHIL: “I couldn’t agree with you more, and I don’t think it’s just wild conspiracy theory.”

The Subway hot dog actually started out as an April Fool’s joke, but after getting a surprisingly positive response, Subway decided to turn it into a real menu item. Reports indicate the hot dog “sandwich” is currently being tested for US locations, but no official launch date has been announced.

So, what’s your take? Is this something you’d actually try if it makes its way to the US, or does it look like just another cheap, over-processed product that’s better left off the menu? Let us know in the comments. We’re curious to hear what you think.
