The Take
Publix Sub earns a 29 Slop Score. Order the Italian on white with extra provolone and light oil and vinegar.
Boar's Head meats, real cheese, fresh produce, and no-HFCS bread beat most chains when you dodge the hidden soybean dressings.
The Verdict
Buy the Italian sub on white, extra provolone, light oil and vinegar. Ask for it hot during BOGO or double the meat.
Avoid anything with signature sauce or sweet tea marinade. Slop Score 29.
