ADVERTISEMENT U.S. NEWS No tuna DNA detected in Subway’s tuna sandwich: report

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.

It’s actually chicken which is processed with anti bloating agents and sprayed with real fish flavored oil.

Whenever the NYT is involved in anything you can think false reporting.

Been eating tuna subs at Subway over half my life - as long as it’s safe, I don’t really care what they’re making them out of, although I’m not a big fan of dishonesty in pretty much anything. However, I’ve also been voting in elections over half my life, and if the New York Times is going to make an issue over integrity in matters that count, maybe they could start there instead of sandwiches at fast food joints.

Grabbed a tuna sandwich at Subway at the airport and it was real tuna; there was an urban legend going sometime back that said the same thing and Subway proved them wrong. I hope Subway sues.

It’s not tuna, it’s actually a blend of blow fish and carp.

Subway can do one of two things:

1. Decertify the franchises involved and assume full control of their supply chain...

2. Admit the product was sourced through their authorized supply chain...then proved it’s fixed.

Or the 3rd option comes into play: Go out of business.
