However, three of the sammiches tested positive for COVID. Dr. Science was notified and he immediately issued another scare warning which will appear in the NYT tomorrow.

Not all food allergies are created equal, and some reactions that are termed "allergies" actually aren't.

I have a bunch of food "allergies", been tested, and they're not all the same. My allergy to fish has always very strong, but the chicken one was more variable. There were times I could eat a small bit of chicken and not really notice anything, but other times my mouth would itch after the first bite.

It may have something to do with the way it is cooked (drier chicken has always been more likely to provoke a reaction), or it may be the type of thing where your body doesn't have a reaction until it builds up a certain amount of whatever the agent is that causes a reaction.

I'm pretty sure that McNuggets are actually chicken. They may not be all chicken meat, and there may be some ground up bits in there, but it's all/mostly chicken.

Yeah, it’s one of those stories that doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Right -- the fake crab is used because the real crab is much more expensive. For a guy like me that is allergic to fish but not shellfish, that's a very important distinction, and I always ask about that if I order crab from a menu.

Tuna, on the other hand, is cheap as hell. Which is why this doesn't make much sense.

“ conduct a PCR test to see if the substance had one of five different tuna species. After a month, the lab said it found “no amplifiable tuna DNA was present in the sample and so we obtained no amplification products from the DNA.”

But all tested positive for covid 19

Exactly.

It's like the people who are upset when they find out that reality shows on TV are not really reality but scripted.

It's make believe entertainment.

Get over it.

I agree with you. Low quality tuna is dirt cheap. It’s tuna. There’s something wrong with the testing

Last time I went to Subway, I asked for a roast beef sub and they said, we don’t sell roast beef any more.

I can only guess it’s to fight climate change.

used to like subway years ago, when the ingredients were better (at least seemed to be) - been downhill for years, and haven’t set foot in the place for about 10 years.

Ha! Good one! And I’d have a lot more confidence in that lack of journalistic DNA in the NYT than I would in that tuna test.

Yeah, but how many tunas would they actually be acquainted with? I mean, there’s Charlie, but after that...

Tuna is so cheap that we used to buy it for our cat when we had one instead of cat food, which was pricey. Cat loved it just fine.

When I was a kid and a young man, I used to break out in a rash from eating shrimp. Happened all of the time.

But around age 45 or 50 until now (mid-70s) I have had no outbreaks from shrimp. Maybe the shrimp is better. Or my allergic reaction has gone away. Who knows?

Tuna is cheap, they wouldn’t risk not using it just for having to deal with headlines like this. I believe this says more to the accuracy of the testing than it ever does about the product myself. Disgruntled employees would love to hurt subway if they knew this and left the business, Subway isn’t stupid and knows it’s not worth it.

I remember once that McDonald’s was accused of using ground up earthworms in its hamburgers by some conspiracy nuts to cut corners and used as a filler.

McDonald’s kinda squashed that one pretty fast by pointing out that a 1k lbs of earthworms cost a lot more than 1k lbs of beef, plus the specialized equipment to process it. Story disappeared almost overnight once they showed that it would cost them more than not using it. Subway will be the same way, this story was put out for headline eye grabbing results and click bait more than anything else.
