WSPA 7 News - 2/28/2017 - Updated 3/2/2017 - PETERBOROUGH, ON (WCMH) — Testing of fast food chicken sandwiches recently revealed that the chicken you order may not be all chicken. CBC News reported that a team from Trent University’s Wildlife Forensic DNA laboratory did DNA testing at several popular fast food restaurants. A piece of chicken purchased from a store would be expected to register as 100% chicken DNA. Adding marinades, seasoning and other processing will bring that number down, CBC reported. The results of tests of chicken at A&W, McDonald’s, Tim Hortons and Wendy’s revealed chicken DNA percentages between 85 and 90 percent. Tests done on chicken from Subway were surprising. Subway’s oven roasted chicken scored 53.6% chicken DNA. Subway chicken strips were found to have 42.8 percent chicken DNA. The majority of the remaining DNA was soy protein, CBC reported.
