Subway-branded deli meats and cheeses will include: Bologna, Virginia Ham, Genoa Salami, Pepperoni, Oven Roasted Turkey, Roast Beef, Swiss Cheese, Provolone Cheese and White American Cheese.


These selections will first be available at Pathmark grocery stores in the New York and New Jersey. The programme will expand to other mass retailers and grocery stores throughout the first half of the year.


“Smithfield Deli Group is committed to producing the same high-quality, delicious, fresh and healthy products as are offered at Subway restaurants nationwide,” said Richard Goodman, senior vice president of Smithfield Deli Group.
