Subway Defends Tuna With New Website

MIAMI, FL – OCTOBER 21: A Subway restaurant is seen as the company announced a settlement over a class-action lawsuit that alleged that Subway engaged in deceptive marketing for its 6-inch and 12-inch sandwiches and served customers less food than they were paying for on October 21, 2015 in Miami, Florida. While it denies the claims, Subway said that franchisees would be required to have a measurement tool in stores to make sure loaves are 12-inches. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
Subway is launching a website to defend its tuna.
The sandwich company has a new website called subwaytunafacts.com, designed to set the record straight on the contents of its tuna sandwich. The move follows an investigation by the “New York Times” that concluded Subway tuna was not real because scientists were not able to detect tuna DNA in their sample.
The new Subway website, however, says that's not unusual when testing cooked tuna, and doesn't mean the tested sample contained no tuna.
The website also quotes a USA Today fact check, which found that canned tuna becomes "denatured" when cooked.
