Another day, another vegan product launch from a major food chain you never thought would hop on board the increasingly jam-packed veganism train.
We know from Greggs’ infamous – and hugely popular – sausage roll just how much of a stir plant-based products can cause (see Piers Morgan nearly vomiting on live TV after tasting one).
Now, the latest unsuspecting chain to appease the ever-expanding vegan community is Subway, which is launching its first vegan Sub that contains a patty made with red pepper, chilli, garlic and red onion.
The global sandwich franchise will serve its new vegan six-inch sub nationwide from Wednesday 17 April and prices start at £3.80.
Customers can either choose to consume the patty as a sandwich inside a bread of their choice – the chain’s Italian and the Hearty Italian breads are both vegan – or they can add it to a salad.
The vegan sub will also be served with a newly-created garlic aioli, which is also plant-based.
As for nutritional info, the new six-inch vegan sub contains 204 calories per serving.
That is significantly less than some of the chain’s other options, such as its cheese and onion sub, which contains 406 calories per serving.
News of Subway’s vegan offering follows the recent launches of plant-based dishes as other major chains such as Pret a Manger and LEON in addition to a whole host of vegan offerings that are now stocked at supermarkets including Tesco, Waitrose and M&S.
