Subway is chewed out after lab tests find no tuna DNA in its tuna sandwiches

A Subway spokesperson told MarketWatch via email that DNA testing is an unreliable way to identify denatured proteins — or proteins whose characteristic properties change due to heat or acidity, such as the way Subway’s tuna was cooked before it was served on a sandwich, and then later tested by the Times.

I've worked at Subway. It comes in a can, precooked. That means that it comes in a standard form that can be measured.

So, no, no tuna involved.

What? It comes in a big vaccume sealed bag when I worked there ten years ago.

It depends on your supplier. The point is that it comes precooked from a standardized food processing source.

You can make the same sort of claim about other meats there. Aren't all the pork products like ham actually made of turkey?

So the food is crap just like it was when I ate there 1990.

If you guys think the tuna is suspicious. You don't want to know what that "crab" meat was.
