What's actually in the Olive Oil Blend
Jersey Mike's own Nutrition & Allergens page names the Olive Oil Blend's ingredients as soybean and/or canola oil, with olive oil listed last. Ingredient statements are ordered by weight from most to least, so olive oil being listed last means it's present in a smaller amount than the soybean and/or canola oil.
