@Patriot96 well I know the tuna isn’t but I think the ham, Turkey and roast beef are!

@MethDozer hmm 🤔
Fast-food chain Subway is fielding questions about just how much tuna could actually be in its tuna sandwiches. The answer could be very little, according to a Wednesday report from The New York Times involving DNA testing of sandwiches.
Here's what the Times uncovered and what social media has to say about the results.
Why is there suspicion around Subway's tuna?
The New York Times didn't randomly decide to test Subway's tuna sandwiches for their true tuna virtue. In January, The Washington Post reported on a lawsuit against the chain that claimed that whatever was in the sandwiches was actually "made from anything but tuna."
This isn't the first time someone has questioned what's in Subway's food. In 2014, Subway took fire for including in its bread a chemical called azodicarbonamide, which is also used in yoga mats. The company phased out the chemical.
What did the lab find?
A commercial food testing lab analyzed more than 60 inches of Subway tuna sandwiches from three different Subway locations in Los Angeles. It found that "no amplifiable tuna DNA was present in the sample."
The lab said this could mean one of two things: Either there's no tuna in the sandwiches, or whatever tuna is being used is so overly processed the lab couldn't make an identification.
The report also noted, though, that this isn't the only DNA test that's been done. Inside Edition sent samples to a lab as well, back in February, and did find tuna present in the samples tested.
