Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The Big Tuna Sandwich Mystery - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM A lawsuit against America’s largest sandwich chain has raised questions about America’s most popular canned fish. We tried to answer one: Is Subway selling tuna? Quote The results, per an email sent to The Times: "No amplifiable tuna DNA was present in the sample and so we obtained no amplification products from the DNA. Therefore, we cannot identify the species." A representative for the lab told The Times that the results pointed to two possible scenarios. "One, it's so heavily processed that whatever we could pull out, we couldn't make an identification," the person said. "Or we got some and there's just nothing there that's tuna." Tuna experts also emphasized to The Times that once fish like tuna had been cooked, its protein would become broken down, or denatured, making it difficult to identify.

Kal-El814 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 This is so fucking dumb. Quote To be fair, when Inside Edition sent samples from three Subway locations in Queens out for testing earlier this year, the lab found that the specimens were, indeed, tuna. Even the plaintiffs have softened their original claims. In a new filing from June, their complaints centered not on whether Subway’s tuna was tuna at all, but whether it was “100% sustainably caught skipjack and yellowfin tuna.” Then what the fuck are we talking about?

Air_Delivery Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I don't need dna analysis to tell me Subway is bottom barrel fast food. I'd eat Jack in the Box over that crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
