SUBWAY To Include Whole Grains Stamp
Sunday, April 12th, 2015 -- 11:12 AM
(Wisconsin Ag Connection) The SUBWAY restaurant chain is making it easy for consumers to add whole grains into their diets with the inclusion of the Whole Grains Stamp on two of its bread choices.Cynthia Harriman, Director of Food Nutrition Strategies for Oldways and its Whole Grains Council, says that since 2010, grocery store sales of whole grain bread outpaced sales of white bread nationwide as more people have come to prefer the fuller, nuttier taste of whole grain. The Whole Grains Council is a nonprofit consumer advocacy group working to increase consumption of whole grains for better health.
The Whole Grains Stamp helps consumers find legitimate whole grain products containing at least half a serving of whole grain. The 9-Grain Wheat bread is the standard bread used for the Fresh Fit for Kids meals, which allows parents the option to boost whole grains for their children's meals
