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.

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.

When I was a kid the rumor was that White Castle hamburgers were made from Kangaroo meat. We didn’t care - they tasted good and were dirt cheap.
