Comedian Ed Gamble said: "Eat your greens, Kids!"
Comedian Ed Gamble has swapped a hot dog for a cucumber in his adverts on London's Underground network.
The podcast host used the fast-food item in an advert for his stand-up tour Hot Diggity Dog.
Transport for London (TfL) does not allow foods high in fat, sugar and salt to be advertised on its network.
A spokesperson for TfL said: "A revised advert is running on the network and we are always happy to work with people to ensure adverts follow our policy."
In a post on Instagram, Gamble described the incident as a "career highlight", adding: "Eat your greens, Kids!"
It was brought in by City Hall to help tackle child obesity rates in the capital.
TfL's policy requires all companies to provide the nutritional information of items featured in their adverts.
