I'm confused by your post because:

1. Are you USian or UKian (or neither)? Pre-packaged sandwiches have much greater acceptance in the UK. Heck, M&S sells them.

2. Don't pre-packaged sandwiches already have ingredients printed on them? If you're drawing a distinction between ingredients and recipe, how does one more than the other guarantee quality of ingredients?

1) Neither. But i've lived in both. From what I saw, Pret really upped the ante with the quality of their sandwiches, and others followed as best they could.

2) This picture answers it better than I tried to explain it:
