bread sold by an American fast-food restaurant cannot be legally defined as bread.</span> <span data-start-time='14146' data-end-time='27417'>The court said Subway restaurant’s bread contains so much sugar that it failed to meet the legal definition of the food product.</span> <span data-start-time='27417' data-end-time='40042'>The ruling came in a tax dispute brought by Bookfinders Limited, which operates Subway restaurants in Ireland.</span> <span data-start-time='40042' data-end-time='45292'>Bread is one of the world’s most popular foods.</span> <span data-start-time='45292' data-end-time='55583'>It is made from a mixture of flour, water, and yeast, which causes the bread to expand when heated.</span> <span data-start-time='55583' data-end-time='69375'>Bookfinders had argued that some of its takeaway, or take-out, products should not be subject to a value-added tax.</span> <span data-start-time='69375' data-end-time='79417'>The list of products included hot drinks, such as tea and coffee, and heated sandwiches.</span> <span data-start-time='79417' data-end-time='86104'>Ireland’s Supreme Court rejected the company’s appeal.</span> <span data-start-time='86104' data-end-time='98021'>Its judges ruled that the bread sold by Subway contains too much sugar to be considered a “staple food.”</span> <span data-start-time='98021' data-end-time='107229'>A staple food is something that is eaten all the time and part of many people’s diets.</span> <span data-start-time='107229' data-end-time='114063'>Such foods are not subject to the value-added taxed.</span> <span data-start-time='114063' data-end-time='138542'>“There is no dispute that the bread supplied by Subway in its heated sandwiches has a sugar content of 10% of the weight of the flour included in the dough, and thus exceeds the 2% specified,” the court said.</span> <span data-start-time='138542' data-end-time='154646'>The law notes a difference between “bread as a staple food” and other baked goods “which are, or approach fancy baked goods,” the judgement read.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back'
