Eat Fresh! Lab tests find no tuna DNA in Subway’s tuna sandwiches

I’ve told people for years that Subway serves more mystery meat than a school cafeteria.

Subway is on the hook for its tuna once again after a lab report found there’s no actual tuna DNA in its sandwiches and wraps
The New York Times had 60 inches of Subway tuna sandwiches from three different restaurants in Los Angeles lab tested after the chain was accused in a lawsuit reported earlier this year, alleging the fish is made from "a mixture of various concoctions," first reported by the Washington Post.
quote:
The lab determined two potential reasons why no tuna was detected in the sample, saying, "One it’s so heavily processed that whatever we could pull out, we couldn’t make an identification … Or we got some and there’s just nothing there that’s tuna," the newspaper noted.

You'd think bulk tuna would be about as cheap as any "fillers" they might be using instead.

Again? I feel like I saw a thread on this like 2 months ago?

NYT was probably paid off by Jersey Mikes.

Megan Rapinoe is going to be EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!

Rapinhoe eats plenty of tuna without Subway.

Subway in general is trash. 90% of fast food chains all do the same garbage. You fatties will eat it anyway

Jersey Mike's is one of the better sub-centric chains.
The SO's kid loves Subway because of her cheap arse mother who buys it when she refuses to eat her cooking. We refuse to let her get it when here. I'll buy the shite to make subs at home before I'd buy Subway again.

OK, I totally understand this with respect to their mystery meat. But, uh, I figured the tuna just came from a can and was the one semi-trustworthy thing you could get.

No beef in my Whopper?
Is this still America?

Heat denatures DNA. The polymerase chain reaction uses this property. Heat the DNA to about 205F or so and hold for 30 or so seconds. The two halves of the DNA double helix unzip leaving two single strands of DNA. The single strands are still viable and can still be reassembled into double stranded DNA by the proper enzymes upon a slight reduction in temperature to prevent the newly formed double strands from denaturing again. This is the backbone of the polymerase chain reaction. Mildly heat DNA to denature it, then introduce a polymerase that can withstand the temperature and then lower the temperature to allow the newly copied DNA to avoid being denatured until the copy is completed. Then turn the heat back up and repeat the cycle over and over. 1 DNA molecule becomes 2 becomes 4 becomes 8... This process is what's called "amplification".
Higher temperatures or prolonged heating, however, will physically destroy DNA, not just temporarily denature it. Canned tuna is generally cooked in a retort at temperatures well above 205F for hours on end. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if there are no viable DNA fragments left after the canning process.
This article is simply a stupid reporter writing stupid articles for stupid people.

Actually, that’s a very good question.
