New Lawsuit Says Subway ‘Tuna’ Contains Chicken, Pig, Cow DNA

The following article, New Lawsuit Says Subway ‘Tuna’ Contains Chicken, Pig, Cow DNA, was first published on Flag And Cross.

Fast food has long lived in a corner of American society in which, no matter what they tell us, we tend to hold the same belief:  It just can’t be good for you.

Sure there are plenty of companies out there who claim that their version of frozen/microwaved/fried food is better for you than their competitors, but we simply accept the fact that it’s all relative and nothing produced under these conditions is going to be beneficial for your body.

What is really alarming, however, is the fact that Subway’s tuna fish may not even be fish at all.

The first version of a lawsuit against Subway claimed its tuna wasn’t really tuna. The second, which was dismissed, said the tuna wasn’t the right kind of tuna. Now, in a new amendment to that proposed class-action complaint, the plaintiffs say testing has found animal proteins in the supposedly “100% tuna,” reports NBC News. Per the complaint filed Monday, 19 of 20 samples taken from Southern California Subway locations had “no detectable tuna DNA sequences.” However, seven contained cattle DNA, 11 had pork DNA, and all 20 contained chicken DNA. The samples were tested at UCLA’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, per the Wall Street Journal. Subway is again pushing back: “The fact remains that Subway tuna is real and strictly regulated by the FDA,” says a rep.

This isn’t the only time Subway has been accused of such.

The sandwich chain has asked a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit against it, calling it frivolous. Two people in California filed a class-action lawsuit—Amin et al v. Subway Restaurants Inc. et al—earlier this year claiming there’s no tuna in Subway’s tuna salad sandwiches. Then, the lawsuit walked back the claim, asking only for proof that the tuna was “100% sustainably caught skipjack and yellowfin tuna.”

The company has sought to bury these lawsuits several times in the past, and has yet to confront the public outrage over this evidence.
