Subway Testing Beyond Meatball Sub

As of September 5th, the Beyond Meatball™ Marinara sub has been available for a limited time only in more than 600 select locations in the U.S. Participating restaurant locations include Jackson, Mississippi; South Bend-Elkhart, Indiana; Fresno-Visalia, California; Louisville, Kentucky; and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Beyond Meatball™ Marinara sub will make its way to select Canada locations on September 20th.

The Beyond Meat team collaborated to make the meatballs exclusively for Subway. The six-inch toasted subs are made with Beyond Meat’s protein-packed meatballs and topped with provolone cheese, marinara sauce and grated Parmesan cheese. According to Subway’s website, the original meatball marinara sub has 20 grams of protein (using beef). With Beyond, it’ll weigh in at 24 grams of protein per sub.

How to order it? Well, you can always request it on standard Italian or 9-grain wheat and forego the provolone and Parmesan to make it vegan. As for gluten-free or soy-free options, unfortunately it won’t be possible, as the meatballs were made with a special proprietary blend of breadcrumbs by Subway, which includes soybean oil.

“Subway appeals to so many fans because we truly offer something for everyone. Our guests want to feel good about what they eat and they also want to indulge in new flavors. With our new plant-based Beyond Meatball™ Marinara sub, we are giving them the best of both worlds. And, we are particularly excited about debuting a co-developed product that can’t be found anywhere else: the Beyond Meatball™ made just for Subway,” says Len Van Popering, Subway’s Chief Brand and Innovation Officer.
