Despite its slogan, Subway often offers anything but fresh food. For example, the packaging and shipping process for lettuce takes 10 to 15 days, resulting in lettuce that tastes and feels terrible. Subway has also found itself in the middle of some legal issues surrounding the addition of various chemicals and preservatives into its ingredients.
In recent years, Subway has had to close over 1,000 restaurants as customers seek out healthier and fresher options.
