Subway describes its tuna sandwich as “freshly baked bread” layered with “flaked tuna blended with creamy mayo then topped with your choice of crisp, fresh veggies.” It’s a description designed to activate the saliva glands — and separate you from your money.
It’s also fiction, at least partially, according to a recent lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges the ingredient billed as “tuna” for the chain’s sandwiches and wraps contains absolutely no tuna.
A representative of Subway said the claims are without merit. Not only is its tuna the real deal, the company says, but it’s wild-caught, too.
The star ingredient, according to the lawsuit, is “made from anything but tuna.” Based on independent lab tests of “multiple samples” taken from Subway locations in California, the “tuna” is “a mixture of various concoctions that do not constitute tuna, yet have been blended together by defendants to imitate the appearance of tuna,” according to the complaint.

Very Fishy
And Subway is garbage
Made me laugh out loud.
And ew.
Next thing you’re gonna tell me is their baloney sub isn’t baloney.
How do you fake baloney?
Glad I made ya smile.
Glad I made ya smile.
I think their meatball sandwich is ok, been a few months since I’ve had one though. Everytime I’ve ordered one they’ve asked me if I wanted it toasted. No, I like my meatballs subs unheated with cold layers of cheese on top (of course I want it hot). They also seem surprised when I don’t get lettuce and tomato on it. Kids these days!
I used to work at Silver Mine Subs, a regional chain that delivers. We had several regular customers who worked in a shopping center that had a Subway. They'd rather order from us and wait for the delivery, than walk across the parking lot to Subway.
I quite agree LOL
Subway’s bread may not legally be called bread in some European countries. It contains enough sugar to be defined as a baked confection. I knew something was wrong with them when I saw how they cut their “bread”. Sacrilege.
What amazing new discovery will the lawyers make next?
That the “crab meat” at Chinese buffets isn’t really crab?
Their coffee is Seattle’s Best..doesn’t same much for Seattle.
“I think their meatball sandwich is ok,”
Good choice, no way they can fake a meatball...wait, what.
“Parts is Parts!”
“Their coffee is Seattle’s Best..doesn’t same much for Seattle.”
Given Seattle’s current collection of clowns, the set of things that “say much” about Seattle is a null set.
A doomed city.
