A New York Times analysis found no identifiable tuna DNA in Subway’s tuna sandwich, the newspaper reported over the weekend, citing tests conducted by a commercial lab.
The Times bought 60 inches of Subway tuna sandwiches from three different Subway locations in Los Angeles.
A reporter for the newspaper then removed and froze the tuna and sent it to an unidentified commercial food testing lab. The newspaper said it paid roughly $500 for the lab to 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.”
“Therefore, we cannot identify the species,” the lab said.
Elaborating on the results, a spokesperson for the lab told the Times that there were two different conclusions.
“One, it’s so heavily processed that whatever we could pull out, we couldn’t make an identification,” the spokesperson said. “Or we got some and there’s just nothing there that’s tuna.”
Subway declined to comment to the Times on the lab results.

OK you win
I grew up in Philly to and everything you say is 100% accurate
To be specific I grew up in Ardmore and Bryn Mawr
I always tell people on the West Coast that every single pizza place in Philly has a 100 item menu and they’ll make you any Italian dish that you want.
Me and my buddies used to get the large steak Stromboli when we would cut school which was big enough to feed a family but we would eat the whole thing between the two of us
You can take it to the bank that the Trump supporters and Oath Keepers that were arrested by the American Gestapo, A/K/A, FBI. Aided and abetted, by the way by Local Law Enforcement Officers. Won’t be catching any breaks. The breaks went to ANTIFA and BLM members along with several sundry subversive groups operating with the blessings of the American Gestapo [FBI]. Who that set up, organized, and choreographed the trap. What the political prisoners will get is the benefit of a number of trumped up charges. But the comments of the sages on here[Free Republic] I read opined and affirmed: “They deserve what they get for being there”
DNA is destroyed when cooked. Tuna is cooked at high pressure before use. That is why it cannot be identified.
They should have also tested for human DNA—maybe the soylent green factories are already operating in a lovely little town called Wuhan.
I doubt that any tuna sold at sushi restaurants east of California have the DNA either.
They should post the test methods for verification. Any tuna sold to subway is going to be pasteurized and processed greatly to eliminate any harmful bacteria or natural parasites
does this change the tuna? What was the baseline for the supposed 5 species they tested?
You mean I can’t prove the ashes in the urn on the shelf belong to cousin Joe????
NY Times - the newspaper of record.
Also NY Times - The sun does not rise in the east and set in the west.
Please delete post 62 wrong thread. Thread title NY Times test finds no identifiable tuna DNA in Subway’s tuna sandwich,
Good point. NYT should send in off the shelf cans of tuna for testing. BUT... They are liars. They always have been and always will be propagandists for the highest bidder. If they reported the sky is blue I would have to double check.
Media says — “Great News! Fast food places like Burger King are now selling burgers — with no beef! It’s Awesome!!!!
Media also says: “Horrible News! Subway is selling tuna fish — which has no tuna! It’s a crime!!!!
Have they tested Nancy’s canned tuna?
Where does Subway get its tuna? Does it come from the Pelosi family fishing boats? Who set the NYT on Subway?
Too bad we can’t send a page of the New York Times off for ‘truth testing’... Now that would be worth reading.
Why did NY Times test Los Angeles Subways? Are there no Subways in NY?
Hate her
I only eat Tuna-Safe dolphin meat.

Oh, Charlie!
Well, it smells like Tuna...
I never believed NYT before. No reason to start believing them now.
