Ireland’s Supreme Court has ruled that bread sold by the fast food chain Subway contains so much sugar that it cannot be legally defined as bread.

The ruling came in a tax dispute brought by Bookfinders Ltd., an Irish Subway franchisee, which argued that some of its takeaway products - including teas, coffees and heated sandwiches - were not liable for value-added tax.

Donutbread masquerading as bread, that is a symptom of people who have taste-buds
that have adapted to too much sweetness.

That is for TAX PURPOSES. If they can define it as "not bread" the state can claim a 9% additional VAT tax on it. A nice scheme and something to remember for those who are pushing for a VAT tax in the US.

This is silly, Subway bread is nothing like a donut. It tastes like bread.

I wouldn't trust tax attorneys to be food critics.

I've never been fond of Subway bread even though I will buy a Subway sandwich from time to time. Its a cheap sub sandwich option.
