Did you know?... Subway has unveiled the new additions to its plant-based menu for 2021 – the vegan T.L.C. (Tastes Like Chicken) Sub and Vegan Double Choc Cookie. The plant-based T.L.C. Sub is packed with a similar flavour of the original, made with a recipe designed to mimic Subway’s roast chicken breast strips, and available with slices of Violife vegan cheese, it said. The T.L.C. is fully customisable and is available as a 6-inch or Footlong Sub, a salad or a wrap for even more choice.

AB InBev separately said the deal would allow it to generate proceeds to repay debt and create shareholder value and added it would retain operational control of the plants.
