The global Sandwich chain, Subway, is under a lawsuit by the state of California claiming that the tuna they sell doesn’t contain fish. Independent tests were done showing no signs of tuna or any other sort of fish in the samples. Instead, they say the testing found, “a mixture of various concoctions that do not constitute tuna, yet have been blended together by defendants to imitate the appearance of tuna.” The recent lawsuit is not the first to question the legitimacy of Subway food. In 2020, an Irish court ruled that Subway’s bread had too much sugar in it to be considered bread.

The women claims Subway is saving money “because the fabricated ingredient they use in the place of tuna costs less money.”

Subway has flat out denied these claims, telling Daily Mail that the tuna is real, is from fish caught in the wild, and that the claims in the lawsuit are “meritless.”

“Subway delivers 100% cooked tuna to its restaurants,” says Subway. “Which is mixed with mayonnaise and used in freshly made sandwiches, wraps and salads that are served to and enjoyed by our guests.”
