Sandwich chain Subway has widened its drinks range in the US by adding poppi prebiotic sodas to its beverage line-up.

The rollout includes two flavours, strawberry lemon and orange.

According to Subway, each can contain 5g of sugar and is positioned to align with its existing “better-for-you” choices.

Subway North America chief marketing officer Dave Skena said: “Subway has proven you can make great-tasting food with real ingredients, and poppi has done the same for soda."

The poppi prebiotic soda brand was launched in 2020 by husband-and-wife founders Stephen and Allison Ellsworth.

In March 2025, PepsiCo acquired poppi for $1.95bn. Since its market entry, the brand is said to have sold more than one billion cans.

The drinks pair prebiotics with fruit juice and are now produced in 17 flavours, including raspberry rose, cherry limeade, grape, and wild berry.

poppi marketing vice-president Jenny Danzi said: “At poppi, we love making better-for-you choices more accessible and more fun, and there's no better partner for that than Subway.

“Launching with Subway allows us to meet consumers in a highly frequented, everyday setting and introduce more people to our delicious, modern take on soda.”

In January, Subway Canada launched the Fresh Fit Menu, a new range of pre-set sandwiches that are available across the country.
