Lawsuit claims Subwayโs tuna mix doesnโt contain any tuna and is โmixture of various concoctionsโ
A new lawsuit filed last week in California claims Subwayโs tuna mixture doesnโt actually contain any tuna but is really a โmixture of various concoctions.โAccording to the CBS News, the lawsuit was filed on behalf of two residents in California who say they were โtricked into buying food items that wholly lacked the ingredients they reasonably thought they were purchasing.โThe pairโs lawyer, Alex Brown with Lanier Law Firm, told CBS that they are trying to figure out what exactly is in the tuna as independent lab results have so far only determined what isnโt in it. The lawsuit states that Subwayโs tuna products โentirely lack any trace of tuna as a component, let alone the main or predominant ingredient,โ USA Today reported. AdSubwayโs website, however, lists their tuna mix as flaked tuna blended with creamy mayo. Subway has been in hot water before in terms of their sandwiches. In October, an Irish court said Subway bread wasnโt really bread because it contains too much sugar.
