If you're a regular at Subway, you might want to think that again.
According a new lawsuit reported by The Washington Post, it alleges that Subway is passing “a mixture of various concoctions” as tuna.
Last week two California residents, Karen Dhanowa and Nilima Amin filed lawsuit against Subway because they say they "were tricked into buying food items that wholly lacked the ingredients they reasonably thought they were purchasing," based on its labeling.
Their lawsuit claims that independent tests couldn't find any actual tuna in samples. The attorney for the plaintiffs told the Washington Post the ingredients not only were not tuna but also "not fish."
They say the testing found, "a mixture of various concoctions that do not constitute tuna, yet have been blended together by defendants to imitate the appearance of tuna." They also claim the fabricated ingredient they use in the place of tuna costs less money, which allows Subway to save money.
"Consumers are consistently misled into purchasing the products for the commonly known and/or advertised benefits and characteristics of tuna when in fact no such benefits could be had, given that the products are in fact devoid of tuna," the suit claims.
