Lab Tests Unable To Find Any Tuna Dna In Subway Sandwiches
Put your Subway sandwich down, at least the tuna one anyway because recent lab tests have found no evidence of any tuna DNA in there famous subs.
The New York Times tested 60 inches of Subway tuna sandwiches from three different restaurants in Los Angeles after a previous lawsuit accused the chain of using fake tuna.
The results found that “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.”
“One it’s so heavily processed that whatever we could pull out, we couldn’t make an identification … Or we got some and there’s just nothing there that’s tuna,” the Times added.

A Subway rep spoke to MarketWatch and claimed that the DNA testing was unreliable way to identify tuna proteins as they change once they are cooked.
