No Tuna in Subway's Tuna Subs

"Where's the beef tuna??"

Lab analysis of Subway tuna sandwiches fails to identify tuna DNA​

Frankly, I've always had trouble finding ANY meat in Subway subs...

They are skimpy with the meats. It’s more of a salad sub.

My analogy is that if Subway subs were martinis, with veggies being the gin, and meat being the vermouth, they would be VERY dry martinis. Like, put on the veggies and wave a piece of meat near it and call it good.

If it is not tuna, than what is it?

Carp?

Speed goats?

Drywall mud?

The report I saw on WTHR this morning said whatever it was, it was so processed that they couldn't find any recognizable DNA.

The story I seen about this said that after the tuna was cooked the DNA is gone, the same for some other meat. Don't know who is right.

So it could be amphibious speed goats?

It’s ground up McRib meat without the BBQ sauce

Headline is a bit misleading. The lab could not identify a specific species of tuna.

It would make zero sense for Subway to use non-tuna/tuna substitute in their tuna sandwiches. Tuna has to be one of the cheapest possible proteins on their menu - and certainly cheaper than any tuna-adjacent/emulating product.

Is it highly processed? Yes. Haven't you ever bought a can of tuna?

It’s Soylent Green!

If you are old enough to know what that is!

Sounds fishy…

Who the hell gets tuna at Subway.
Who the hell gets Subway.

If you are ever able to tour a processed meat plant (hot dogs/pork fritters/Tuna salad ) you will be forever changed.
Years working in the refrigeration side of that industry shows you what to and not to eat out in the wild.

With a bit of a food history interest, I find it quite funny that peasant food often is on the menu at the highest end restaurants.

My favorite example is oxtail soup, did any king ever eat a**hole soup? LOL

The poor ate it all.

It is what we are missing, today we still eat it all, but it comes in fun packaging, with cool logos, and no one knows the parts they are actually consuming.

What about the hamburger you guys are buying, what is in it? Most hamburger sold comes to the store, rough cut, in ten pound tubes for the store to grind to look good in the case. If you ask if they grind it fresh, they will say yes.

I try to buy hamburger from places that only grind it from "whole cuts" in the store. Quality hamburger from real chuck is expensive, rarely less than $4 a pound. Any hamburger less than that has all manor of parts in it, often including finely textured beef. (Think washing machine spin cycle on steroids that flings tiny particles of beef off the bones, tendons, etc. to get ever micro scrap of protein.) Buy what you like, but know the truth...
