Subway defends tuna salad as containing real tuna
Subway isn't waiting for a judge to settle recent accusations that its tuna salad doesn't include real tuna among its ingredients. The fast-food chain is already appealing to the court of public opinion with an advertising blitz touting its tuna salad sandwiches and wraps as made with "100% real wild caught tuna." The Milford, Connecticut, company launched the ad campaign after two California residents recently filed a lawsuit alleging something fishy about Subway's tuna salad. Offering 15% off the price of one of the company's tuna footlong sandwiches with the promo code "ITSREAL," Subway is promoting its tuna salad as "100% tuna mixed with mayo" in pop-up ads on its website and on social media. According to the company's website, the tuna salad in the chain's sandwiches is made with flaked tuna in brine, mayonnaise and a flavor-protecting additive.

If certified as a class-action, the suit could potentially represent thousands of Subway customers who bought tuna sandwiches or wraps after January 21, 2017, in California, where it has 2,266 locations. The suit isn't the first legal dispute that raised questions about Subway's products.

A new lawsuit filed last week in California claims Subway’s tuna mixture doesn’t actually contain any tuna but is really a “mixture of various concoctions.”According to the CBS News, the lawsuit was filed on behalf of two residents in California who say they were “tricked into buying food items that wholly lacked the ingredients they reasonably thought they were purchasing.”The pair’s 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 isn’t in it. The lawsuit states that Subway’s tuna products “entirely lack any trace of tuna as a component, let alone the main or predominant ingredient,” USA Today reported. AdSubway’s 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.

LONDON – Ireland’s Supreme Court has ruled that bread sold by the fast food chain Subway contains so much sugar that it cannot be legally defined as bread. A panel of judges rejected the appeal Tuesday, ruling that the bread sold by Subway contains too much sugar to be categorized as a “staple food,” which is not taxed. The law makes a distinction between “bread as a staple food” and other baked goods “which are, or approach, confectionery or fancy baked goods,” the judgement said. Subway said it was reviewing the latest tax ruling. It added that the decision was based on an outdated bread exemption set by the Irish government that was updated in 2012.
