I like it that Subway's bread can't be considered as bread, because of the high ammount of sugar.

In 2020, it ruled that the sugar content in Subway's savory sandwich bread was above the legal limit required to be labeled "bread," according to the country's Value-Added Tax Act of 1972, which states that for a baked good to qualify as bread, its sugar content cannot exceed 2% of the total weight of flour.

Wasn't that in France specifically where they have more legal and commercial terms for bread than English speakers? For example a term more descriptive of what Subway serves translates to a "Sweet".

But yeah 10% is a lot.

It was Ireland, but the same rules apply for the EU as a whole I am to understand.
