Written by Diana - July 5, 2009 2 Comments- Subway announces they are cleaning up their standard subway build by removing pickles and olives from their standard build (what they use to list basic nutritional info). These two ingredients are higher in sodium and they felt that the sandwiches would be heart healthier without them. By removing them from the standard build, they hope to draw awareness for those watching their sodium intake due to high blood pressure or who are just concerned with overall heart health. Subway’s Fresh Fit menu is approved by the American Heart Association and their children’s menu is approved by the National Institutes of Health.
