Test results indicate Subway tuna sandwich are without the tuna

A startling test result reported that Subway’s Tuna sandwich was missing the tuna.  Investigation of Subway Tuna sandwiches was undertaken by The New York Times after a class-action lawsuit was filed against the food chain in January. 

60 inches of Subway Tuna sandwich from three different Subway outlets were tested in a lab. Upon examination of the frozen Tuna, it was determined that  “no amplifiable tuna DNA was present in the sample and so we obtained no amplification products from the DNA. Therefore, we cannot identify the species.” 

Speaking of the tuna sandwiches a lab spokesperson said, “One, it’s so heavily processed that whatever we could pull out, we couldn’t make an identification. Or we got some and there’s just nothing there that’s tuna.”

Subway, in an email to The Times, insisted that there are reasons for what happened and claimed that the accusations were false. The email read, “There simply is no truth to the allegations in the complaint that was filed in California. Subway delivers 100 percent cooked tuna to its restaurants.”

Subway also posted a statement online maintaining that its restaurants serve hundred percent wild-caught tuna that also happens to be its most popular product.

Subway’s statement further stated that “DNA testing is an unreliable methodology for identifying processed tuna.”
