New Delhi: After McDonald’s,  some Subway India outlets have stopped serving tomatoes in their salads and sandwiches due to quality problems. A Subway outlet at a Delhi airport terminal announced the “Temporary Unavailability of TOMATOES” in a sign saying the restaurant could not get enough supply that passed its quality checks, Economic Times reported.

“Hence for the time being we are forced to serve you products without tomatoes,” it said. “We are working to get the tomatoes supplies back.”

Everstone Group’s Culinary Brands, which has the master franchisee for some 200 of India’s 800 Subway and manages the supply chain for all of them, did not respond to a request for comment, the report said adding it was not clear how many outlets were affected.

Many Indian outlets were still offering tomatoes, according to checks of food ordering apps and calls to stores, but at least two in New Delhi, one in Uttar Pradesh and one in Chennai in the south had stopped, according to the report.

Two weeks ago. McDonald’s restaurants dropped tomatoes from their burgers and wraps in many parts of the country due to quality issues.
