Subway Sued For Using Bootleg Tuna In Sandwiches
Sandwich giant Subway is under fire for using fake Tuna in its sandwiches!
A new lawsuit filed in California accuses Subway of using bootleg Tuna, that contains no fish at all in its sandwiches, citing fraud, intentional misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment because SUBWAY uses “anything but tuna.”
The suit claims that the chain uses “a mixture of various concoctions that do not constitute tuna, yet have been blended together by defendants to imitate the appearance of tuna.”

After multiple lab results from samples across California, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, Shalini Dogra, told The Washington Post that “We found that the ingredients were not tuna and not fish.”
Dhanowa and Amin also claim that Subway “is saving substantial sums of money in manufacturing the products because the fabricated ingredient they use in the place of tuna costs less money.”
They believe they are not getting the health benefits that they would get from Tuna and that Subway is using false marketing.
The lawsuit is asking for unspecified damages and anyone can join the suit as long they purchase a Tuna sandwich from Subway after 2017.
“Consumers are consistently misled into purchasing the products for the commonly known and/or advertised benefits and characteristics of tuna when in fact no such benefits could be had, given that the products are in fact devoid of tuna,” notes the suit.
Subway has denied the claims.
