According to the 15-page case, photographs that appear in Subway’s advertisements portray the Steak & Cheese sandwich as containing “at least 200% more meat” than what customers actually receive when they order the sandwich.

The lawsuit shares that numerous Subway customers have complained on social media about the allegedly false advertising of the chain’s menu items, including both the Steak & Cheese and Cheesy Garlic Steak sandwiches.

The fraud class action claims Subway’s advertisements are “unfair and financially damaging” to customers, who receive sandwiches that are much lower in value than represented.

“Subway [sic] actions are especially concerning now that inflation, food, and meat prices are very high and many consumers, especially lower income consumers, are struggling financially,” the suit reads.

Per the complaint, the allegedly misleading ads cause consumers to make purchases they otherwise would not have made—and spend time and money taking trips to the restaurant or paying delivery fees.

The Subway false advertising lawsuit looks to cover all persons or entities that purchased a Steak & Cheese sandwich on Subway’s website or mobile app for pickup or delivery from a Subway location in New York since October 28, 2021.
