How Beyond Meat is revolutionizing the Subway sandwich.
Teaming up with Beyond Meat®, Subway has introduced the Beyond Meatball™ Marinara sandwich option at 635 participating locations across the U.S. and Canada.
Just a few years ago, finding cruelty-free meat alternatives at popular fast-food chains was something many vegans dreamed about. Today, it’s unusual for a restaurant chain to not offer plant-based meat options. From Burger King to Carl’s Jr.—and now Subway—Beyond Meat options are taking over the fast-food industry as the optimal choice for people looking for a protein alternative on the go. That’s something vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians alike can get excited about!
Subway is the newest restaurant chain taking on the frontier of ethical meat alternatives. As of September 5th, lucky patrons of 635 select Subway locations around the U.S. and Canada will be the first to taste the Beyond Meatball Marinara sub sandwich. This sub, sans the cheese and served up on Italian or 9-grain wheat bread, is free of animal-derived ingredients, making it a convenient vegan-friendly option. For vegans who are often asked the question, “Where do you get your protein?”, it’s worth noting that a six-inch sub packs a hearty 24 grams of protein.
Beyond Meat is a leading producer of ethical plant-based meat substitutes. In fact, when it went public in May of this year, it became the best performing IPO of 2019 and even the top-performing IPO in nearly 20 years.
The company’s mission intersects ours here at The Humane League. It is focused on combating the four main areas that are negatively impacted by the farming of cows around the world: human health, climate change, constraints on natural resources, and animal welfare.
Eating fresh at Subway has never been easier now that we can leave cruelty out of our orders. Because The Beyond Meatball Marinara is only available through the end of October, it’s important to run to your nearest Subway today to reinforce the demand for this plant-based option! Vote with your dollars to remind these fast-food giants that meat-alternative options are important to their customers.
