This doesn't necessarily mean their bread is unhealthy, it enables the Irish Government to tax Subway rolls a VAT as desserts or cake. Money grab.

The government(s) don't tax the foods that meet their healthy/staple regs, Subway didn't qualify.
@FearlessFly So "bread" is exempt from VAT and they claim the high sugar content makes it a baked good that's not bread. They'll change their recipe and won't have to pay the VAT.
sugar is unhealthy
@barjoe A bread recipe has only flour, yeast, water, a little salt. Everything else is an adulterant.
Do you think, it would be changed world-wide, or just in Ireland ?
@FearlessFly Normally I'd say only Ireland but because this story went viral they may go worldwide for public relation I for their "new and improved" hoagie rolls.
