What Blimpie cooks with
The oil and vinegar poured on the cold subs is a canola oil blend (the chain's own ingredient statement, v.092925). Soybean oil stays in the mayo, the ranch, the creamy dressings and the breads; olive oil on the meatball parm; canola in the brownie; palm-based margarine in the cookies.
