Subway's New Bread

So I was just browsing around the internet and came across an article in the Huffington Post that Subway Restaurants are going to introduce a new bread recipe. Now their bread is going to be calcium and Vitamin D fortified, which obviously is most likely going to be D3. Anyone else hear about this? I don't eat there ever anyways, but I guess this is one more place that no longer is veg-friendly.
this saddens me....greatly.
A different bread instead of the current Italian, or an additional? I'll go read the article...
eta: Huh.
eta2: I just looked at the current ingredient list for the Italian bread, and it doesn't seem like it will be any less/more vegan that it already is with the unknown origin type ingredients:
ITALIAN (WHITE) BREAD Enriched wheat flour (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamine mononitrate,
riboflavin, folic acid), water, sugar, contains less than 2% of the following: soybean oil, yeast, wheat
gluten, calcium blend (calcium carbonate, vitamin d3), salt, dough conditioners (acetylated tartaric acid
esters of mono- and diglycerides, ammonium sulfate, calcium sulfate, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide,
potassium iodate, amylase ), wheat protein isolate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, flavor ( yeast
extract, salt, natural flavor). Contains wheat.
Sick! Then why do people say their bread is vegan????? There is a new Subway by my house and I was looking forward to eating there sometime. Now I will not.
well, d3 is def not vegan. amirite? the others are questionable, can come from either source.
maybe that's the new bread ingredients, since there's the "calcium blend" there.
Yeah, I think that is the new bread. Their faq used to say

Not happy news :(

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the new bread recipe. How disappointing :p Subway is officially on the sucky list.
D3 isn't always unvegan. Same with the glycerides and SSL. j/s, guys.
Yeah, that's why I said unknown origins. I do think the D3 always comes from a wooly animal, though? originally, at least
I just read that the folic acid in enriched flour is from cow's blood! : /

I would think most definitely so in this bread and in most applications. But I just read this the other day:
