The Milford, Conn.-based company announced the changes June 4, adding the sandwich purveyor to a growing list of fast food eateries and other companies that have sworn off artificial ingredients in hopes of attracting more health-conscious customers.
Subway will be changing the recipes for all of its products, and has already removed some artificial ingredients, like the caramel coloring in its nine-grain bread and roast beef. Another example are the banana peppers, which will be colored with turmeric instead of Yellow No. 5. The company will also take this initiative globally and said it has already started the food improvement process in all of its regions.
