Subway Faces Class-Action Lawsuit Over 'Misleading' Meat Advertisements

A New York woman claims Subway's ads significantly exaggerate the amount of meat in its sandwiches, prompting legal action.

Plaintiff Anna Tollison accuses Subway of using deceptive marketing tactics, suggesting its Steak and Cheese sandwiches contain 200% more meat than they actually do.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, seeks unspecified damages for New Yorkers who purchased the sandwiches in the last three years.
Subway's advertisements are alleged to be financially damaging to consumers, especially amid high inflation and rising food costs.
This legal challenge is not Subway's first; the chain has previously faced lawsuits over the length of its footlong sandwiches and the contents of its tuna products.
The lawsuit highlights concerns about the impact of misleading advertising on lower-income consumers, who may be particularly affected by such practices.
