Subway sorry some 'Footlongs' short

NEW YORK (AP) -- Subway is apologizing that its "Footlong" sandwiches fell short of expectations.

The world's largest fast-food chain faced widespread criticism last week after a man posted a photo online showing a "Footlong" next to a tape measure that showed it to be just 11 inches.

Subway said Friday that it's redoubling efforts to "ensure consistency and correct length" in all its sandwiches.

In a statement Friday, Subway expressed "regret" for "any instance where we did not fully deliver on our promise to our customers."
