But this Fast-food chain Subway faces a lawsuit over the alleged presence of chicken, pork, and other meat in its tuna products. The fast food chain advertised "100% tuna" in the its product
US Fastfood franchise Subway faces a lawsuit and the possibility of having to pay damages to a customer over alleged fraud concerning its tuna products. A federal judge has said that Subway can be sued for allegedly using other fish species, chicken, pork, and cattle instead of the advertised “100% tuna”.
The class-action lawsuit was filed in January 2021 by Nilima Amin.
She referred to tests at UCLA's Barber Lab that revealed that 19 of 20 samples contained "no detectable tuna DNA sequences," while all 20 had chicken DNA, 11 had pork DNA, and 7 had cattle DNA.
However, Subway repeatedly defended its tuna products on various online and offline platforms.
According to Subway’s lawyers, traces (or DNA) of other ingredients found in its tuna products could have been due to cross-contact when making sandwiches or from eggs in mayonnaise.
