AdAge: Subway Suspends Relationship With Jared Fogle Amid Federal Investigation

Subway may have been slow to issue a statement earlier today about federal authorities searching Jared Fogle’s house, but the company has now suspended its relationship with its spokesman of more than 15 years.

The company said on Twitter: “Subway & Jared Fogle have agreed to suspend their relationship due to the current investigation. Jared is cooperating with authorities.”

“Subway and Jared Fogle have mutually agreed to suspend their relationship due to the current investigation,” a spokesman added in an email to Ad Age. “Jared continues to cooperate with authorities and he expects no actions to be forthcoming. Both Jared and Subway agree that this was the appropriate step to take.”
