Lab Test Finds No Tuna DNA In Subway Tuna Sandwich
So what have we been eating?!
In a DNA test commissioned by the New York Times, lab techs say they’ve found no trace of actual tuna in Subway tuna sandwiches.
The Hill reports that a lab spokesperson said, “There’s two conclusions: one, it’s so heavily processed that whatever we could pull out, we couldn’t make an identification. Or … there’s just nothing there that’s tuna.”
The results contradict an earlier test that found some tuna in Subway’s sandwiches.
The latest results come after two California people filed a lawsuit about 6 months ago against the restaurant, claiming their tuna sandwiches “are made from anything but tuna.”
Subway officials have shot down the claim, saying their subs are made with “100 percent real wild-caught tuna.”

2 customers are suing saying its sandwiches have no tuna, which the company denies. Last year, an Irish court ruled Subway bread has too much sugar to be legally considered bread. pic.twitter.com/HS5Ngqbd6j
