Subway’s case against the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has been dismissed, based on expert testimony. CBC had accused Subway of selling ‘chicken’ that was 50% soy.
“There is considerable divergence between Subway’s evidence and that of CBC regarding the diligence of CBC’s efforts to be accurate. CBC says that it chose Trent, a reputable university laboratory that operates independently and was open to being scrutinized by outside experts. CBC and Trent contend that Trent ran multiple tests on the Subway products and those of its competitors, and consistently found that Subway’s chicken was an outlier in having substantially more plant DNA than the others. CBC also states that it retained an outside expert in DNA testing, Dr. Robert Hanner, who confirmed that Trent’s laboratory methodology and results were credible.”
However, the case against Trent University continues.
