Frequently asked

Does Subway Canada use seed oils?

Based on our menu research, Subway Canada cooks with: vegetable oil blend and canola oil. Across the 116 menu items we analyzed, it averages 7.4g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of C (High Risk).

What oil does Subway Canada cook with?

Our research indicates: Only the Potato Rings are deep fried, in a vegetable oil blend (canola and/or soybean and/or cottonseed and/or sunflower and/or corn). Soybean oil alone in the Mayonnaise, Chipotle Southwest, Peppercorn Ranch and Smoky Honey Mustard; canola in the egg patty, grilled and rotisserie chicken, wraps, gluten-free bread, veggie patty, garlic puree and Fiesta Beans & Corn; palm shortening in the Italian white bread and in every cookie; multigrain and flatbread soybean; ciabatta extra virgin olive oil. Updated 2026-10-02 from Subway Canada's own ingredient guide CAN_ingredients_ENG_9-18-26.pdf (the June 2026 guide named no canola). Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

Does Subway Canada use beef tallow?

No. Our research indicates Subway Canada cooks with vegetable oil blend and canola oil, not beef tallow. For chains that fry in tallow or other real fats, see Tallow Watch.

What is the safest thing to order at Subway Canada?

What should I avoid at Subway Canada?

What are seed oils?

Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and similar vegetable oils — are extracted from seeds using high heat and chemical solvents. They are very high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are unstable at cooking temperatures and can oxidize easily. Many health-conscious eaters choose to minimize seed oils and prefer foods cooked in beef tallow, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead. This page shows estimated PUFA grams per menu item to help you make more informed choices. These are estimates — actual values vary by preparation and location. New to the topic? Start with what seed oils are and the complete list, or read the evidence on why people avoid them.
