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.

Wawa uses Amoroso’s rolls and real capicolla, provolone, salami, oil. While you wait. At least 25 years ago when I fled Philadelphia (Chestnut Hill). In 1994.
Its Pollock. Not Polack... ;-) , Pollock. They process it and make surimi... ( https://www.seafoodhealthfacts.org/faq/what-surimi )
The subway next to my local gas station here in FL is literally the only local business still with their lock down “government mandate” mask signage still up on the door. They truly do seem to be run by morons.
White Tuna, aka Escolar is not Tuna at all. The fish contains a non-digestible fat. Ever eat a whole bag of Olestra chips, or mistake the chocolate flavored ex lax for brownies? Too much escolar and the exact same effect. Explosive gut decompression syndrome with a real risk of an O-ring blowout.
You should try it (in moderation) because it is delicious, but be warned. A big sashimi plate will prep you for a colonoscopy.
Wouldn't freezing the tuna cause some change in it?
I'm basing that on I was told an autopsy cannot be performed on a cat that was frozen. I forget what type of results were needed. It's been decades.
lolol
I’ve never heard that before in my life. I missed out.
No tuna in the Tuna Sandwich?
Next you’re going to tell me the Foot Long isn’t really one foot long.
Wait, what?
ROTFLMAO!!!
Queen of the Bluefins.
Subway, YUCK, just like Domino’s isn’t pizza. Most of these chains are terrible.
LOL!
They belong to Cousin Joe all right. And Mrs. Kline, Mrs. Miller, old man Williams . . . Mr. Martin, Rusty the beagle, some old fencing . . . Mrs. Martinez and that old coffee table the funeral home used to have.
Cremation. Like a garbage incinerator for people.

I’ve heard about the Olestra drizzles.
