Subway sandwiches are short on meat, lawsuit claims

A new lawsuit accuses Subway of “grossly misleading” customers by advertising sandwiches that contain at least three times more meat than it delivers.

A new lawsuit accuses Subway of “grossly misleading” customers by advertising sandwiches that contain at least three times more meat than it delivers.

According to a proposed class action filed Monday in federal court in Brooklyn, Subway ads for its Steak & Cheese sandwich show layers of meat piled high, reaching about as high as the surrounding hero bread.

In reality, according to several photos in the complaint, the fast-food chain’s sandwiches are far more bread than filling.

This is especially concerning, the complaint said, because of inflation and high food prices, and because many lower-income consumers are struggling financially.

Anna Tollison of Queens said she paid $7.61 for a Steak & Cheese sandwich at a local Subway, not realizing Subway’s ads showed a sandwich containing at least 200% more meat than she and other consumers would receive.
