One tuna fish sandwich, please — but hold the tuna.

A lab test set up by the New York Times reportedly detected no tuna DNA in 60 inches of tuna sandwiches that were examined. The experiment included sandwiches from three Subway shops in Los Angeles. Of course, there’s a catch.

According to a spokesperson from the unidentified lab that conducted the testing, there are two possibilities for their inability to detect tuna. The first explanation is that Subway’s tuna is so heavily processed that if there is tuna in their sandwiches, it couldn’t be clearly identified. The second possibility is that there’s no tuna.

A recent lab analysis of tuna used in Subway sandwiches commissioned by the New York Times did not reveal any tuna DNA in samples taken from Subway tuna sandwiches. The lab was unable to pinpoint a species in the tuna samples from three Los Angeles area Subway sandwich shops. (Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

The testing, which the Times said cost $500, included a polymerase chain reaction test, which searched for DNA of five different tuna species.

So, if they open a random can of tuna will they find any DNA there? Is it degraded by cooking?

Friends don’t let friends eat at Subway.

Likely whitefish. It’s a very common stand-in. Florida restaurants are required to report if they use whitefish in place of things like grouper, since most of the public can’t tell the difference. Most restaurants will just say they’re out of grouper.

Reminds me of those labels: “Now with made with real...”

Oh really??? What was in it before?

[butlerweave]

Didn’t check their garbage for cans ?

[marktwain]

There is at least a third possibility.

The testing is bad or rigged.

Hey, where did you get a pic of my ex?

[Mr. Rabbit]

What BS. I’ve bought tuna sandwiches for Mom over the last year from Subway, and it’s f*****g tuna. These “news” liars that keep spreading this BS deserve to be sued into oblivion. It’s not like you can’t just go to your local subway and verify for yourself.
And I don’t even like Subway. But BS is BS.
More proof you we needed any that the “news” industry are a bunch of bald faced liars.

[Obadiah]

No way! Er, you mean like ABC and Food Lion, or NBC and the estes rocket?

Surely you aren’t inferring that they may be graduates of the NBC school of pick up truck testing integrity?
