Subway Faces Lawsuit Over Allegedly Misleading Meat Advertisements

A class action suit claims Subway sandwiches contain significantly less meat than advertised, impacting consumers amid high food prices.

The lawsuit was filed by Anna Tollison in Brooklyn federal court, alleging Subway's ads depict sandwiches with at least 200% more meat than they actually contain.
Tollison claims she paid $7.61 for a Steak & Cheese sandwich that had far less meat than shown in Subway's advertisements.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for New Yorkers who purchased the sandwiches over the past three years, citing violations of consumer protection laws.
Plaintiffs argue that the misleading advertisements are particularly harmful during a time of inflation and high food costs, affecting lower-income consumers.
Subway, acquired by Roark Capital in April, has not yet responded to the lawsuit, while similar suits against other fast-food chains have been dismissed in the past.
