The international sandwich chain Subway is suing the Canadian broadcaster CBC following a report that said the fast food giant's chicken was only half chicken. The CBC reported on one of its shows that Subway's oven roasted chicken contained only 53.6 per cent chicken, and that its chicken strips had just 42.8 per cent chicken. The show claimed the rest was a soy filler. The researchers stated that competing chains had considerably higher levels of meat in their chicken-based products. Subway announced: "We have issued a Notice of Action…against the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that asks for $210 million in damages over allegations…that are defamatory and absolutely false."

國際三明治連鎖店賽百味起訴加拿大廣播電臺CBC，因為有一份報道稱這家快餐巨頭出售的雞肉含量只有一半。CBC在一個節(jié)目中表示，賽百味烤箱烘烤的雞只含有53.6%的雞肉，雞肉條中只有42.8%的雞肉。該節(jié)目宣稱其他成分都是大豆填充物。調(diào)查人員表示，競爭對手雞肉制品中的雞肉含量高得多。賽百味宣布：“我們已經(jīng)向加拿大廣播公司發(fā)出了訴訟通知，要求就誹謗的，絕對錯誤的言論提出2.1億美元的賠償。”

Subway said it has made several attempts to dispute the claims of CBC. It said: "Despite our efforts to share the facts with the CBC about the high quality of our chicken and to express our strong objections to their inaccurate claims, they have not issued a retraction, as we requested." It added: "We do not know how they produced such unreliable and factually incorrect data….Producing high quality food for our customers is our highest priority." A CBC spokeswoman said the corporation was standing behind its investigation, its story and its reporters. She said: "We believe our journalism to be sound and there is no evidence that we've seen that would lead us to change our position."

賽百味表示，他們已經(jīng)數(shù)次反駁CBC的主張。“盡管我們多次告知CBC我們的雞肉的高品質(zhì)，強(qiáng)烈反對他們的不實指控，然而他們并沒有按照我們的要求撤回報道。”賽百味補(bǔ)充說：“我們不知道他們是怎樣捏造出如此不可靠，如此不實的數(shù)據(jù)。為顧客生產(chǎn)高品質(zhì)的食物是我們的首要任務(wù)。”CBC一名發(fā)言人表示，公司支持他們的調(diào)查，支持報道，支持他們的記者。她說：“我們相信我們的報道是可靠的，我們沒有看到可以讓我們改變立場的證據(jù)。”
