Why Subway's New Low Carb Bread Is So Concerning - Mashed

While this item looks good for some, Trista Best warns that the item sets off some immediate red flags. "The primary ingredient that would be a concern in Subway's Hero Bread is the modified wheat starch," she told us. "This form of starch is sourced from either wheat, potatoes, corn, or tapioca and provides almost no nutritional value but a significant amount of fiber."

Modified wheat starch, Best added, is commonly in "processed foods and especially low carbohydrate foods as it increases the fiber amount which decreases the net carbs overall. The concern here is the method by which this starch is modified ... through chemical, physical, enzymatic methods. When modified through chemical means there can be contamination from harmful compounds like sulfuric acid or chlorine."

Some might benefit from Hero bread, but Best says it isn't for everyone. "Considering the fact that most consumers will choose refined bread options at Subway, rather than whole grain bread, switching to Hero Bread could be more beneficial by increasing dietary fiber and reducing carbohydrate intake," Best said. "However, for those that would typically eat whole grain breads this switch is a poor nutritional decision. Whole grain bread contains un-modified, non-processed, fiber and ingredients. There is also a higher rate of B vitamins, iron, and magnesium." Next time you head to Subway, keep this item on your radar and think about if it can make your meal that much better.
