Letters Needed Re. New Subway VegiMax Sandwich (NOT vegan)

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

 

I'm not sure if this sandwich has been released nation wide yet,

or if Subway is just test marketing it in a few cities. (I live in

Atlanta, GA) However, I discovered yesterday that they are now

offering a sandwich with a veggie-burger type patty, called the

VegiMax.

I could not find any information on this sandwich at the Subway

website (which leads me to believe it is just being test marketed right

now) so I wrote to their customer service department and received the

following nutrition and ingredient info on the patty:

peppers, black olives, textured vegetable protein (soy protein

concentrate, wheat gluten), egg whites, cooked brown rice, rolled oats,

corn oil, calcium caseinate, soy sauce (water, soybeans, salt, wheat).

hydrolyzed corn, soy and wheat protein, sucrose, soy protein isolate,

spices, garlic powder, dextrose, jalapeno pepper powder, and celery

extract.

I wanted everyone to be aware that this product is NOT vegan. I

am extremely pleased that Subway is attempting to reach out to their

non-meat eating customers and I intend to write them to laud their

efforts.

It would be great if we could all send Subway a letter expressing

our support of their efforts to reach out to their vegetarian and vegan

customers with the new VegiMax sandwich. However, we would greatly

appreciate it if they would look in to reformulating their VegiMax

Patty to make it vegan-friendly and thus expose themselves to a much

wider audience.

Please send your polite and supportive letters / emails / phone

calls to Subway at the following contact info: (remember, negative

comments will only damage our argument)
