Subway launches SubwayTunaFacts.com , forced to defend against the allegation that its “wild-caught 100% tuna” sandwich contains no tuna DNA, but does contain DNA from other commonly-consumed animals. This comes in the wake of the recent Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts suit complaining Kellogg’s injects other fruits, but very little strawberry. Do frivolous lawsuits serve a purpose in our society…beyond pure entertainment value?
The Members at BillWhittle.com certify that Right Angle — with Scott Ott, Stephen Green and Bill Whittle – is made with “wild-caught 100% man DNA”. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

If it has pork in it, a person of Muslim faith might have a case.

Mystery Meat …..this reminds me of Bill’s video clip of the Chinese injecting fluids in their meats. Yucko …..
I think the problem with this suit is the process of the lab. It can be reasonably assumed that they got their samples from already prepared tuna. (I’m sure Subway didn’t allow them to sample from the processing plant)
Already prepared tuna has mayo in it. Mayo is made from eggs and oil. Eggs are… chickens or at least 1/2 of a chicken in the case of unfertilized eggs. It is therefore not unreasonable to assume that is where the chicken DNA came from.
Equally, they serve bacon and again, it would not be unreasonable to assume cross contamination.
Mcnuggets are chicken-adjacent?
Eh, I think they’re more like chicken sausage… all the bits you wouldn’t eat on their own, ground up and stuffed into a package.
And apparently liquified first if you believe Tim’s earlier post.
Gotta be liquefied to flow from the extrusion barrel through the nozzle, through all the runners and finally into all 64 of those ever so slightly different nugget cavities! Yummy. . . .
Since I don’t care to learn how to do those emoji things – I leave the image below.
Just plain old made my day, “Ron”, I’m thankful to be part of a community who can inform, invigorate but most imporantly, make me snicker. I hope everyone at the RWAE household has a safe and loving Thanksgiving. I know I will.
To you and yours as well, Tim. We have a good group here!
“dolphin-free tuna salad”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Food_and_Drug_Act
It is illegal to mislabel food, period.
On Subway’s side, it appears that the NewYorkTimes is involved with the testing of the suspect sandwich materials. This is enough to question the whole shebang, for me. Unless you think this is a “set a lying newspaper to catch a lying restaurant” scenario.
The purpose of the Pure Food & Drug act was to protect reputable businesses from the cheaters, among other things. If Subway can get away with phony tuna, then McDonalds & other fast-food establishments (and potentially, your favorite sit-down restaurant), will be driven out of business by the cheaters. Plus, bad food makes you sick…been there barfed that. Bigger issues here than “just a phony fish sandwich”. So, while I appreciate humor, this is not a laughing matter for me.

We are what we eat!
Doesn’t a plaintiff need to show harm? So what if there is no tuna in your sub? It must taste pretty good to you, you bought 100 of them. Where is the harm to you? Get out of my court!
Good on Scott for mentioning the link. Most news shows don’t mention it at all and go along with the New York Times (??) and say it is fake. I went to the site and Subway makes a logical rational case for real.
Last Tim bit on this puffer of a topic. Would have been nice and slightly more informative to get some details of the lawsuit. In particular:
None of these 4 questions were addressed in this hard hitting investigatory piece by the R/A guys.
The coverup is always more damaging than the crime, right? Subway has to know this. So to double down with a “our tuna is real” website just might lean towards Subway has provable evidence that their tuna is indeed tuna.
Funny this R/A comes out on what should have been a slow news day, except for the whole Waukesha incident.
Steve: Agglomeration – a mass or collection of things, an assembly. You had it right, but the lips and tongue just weren’t functioning perfectly.
Bill, In 1997 I actually saw the injection mold being built that makes Chicken Nuggets. Bright, shiny stainless steel massive mold with approximately 64 nuggets arranged on both sides of the injection mold faces. Each one cut /EDM’d in such a way to look slightly different. Liquid chicken and fat and water, an agglomeration so to speak, is injected into the closed and heated mold, and less than a minute later, out pops nuggets, ready for batter, deep frying, or steam cooking. Yum.
I honestly could have gone the rest of my life without knowing the bit about chicken nuggets.
Who has members tomorrow? Topic guesses.
2 takes on Rittenhouse verdict
1 Waukesha
1 How will Mitch cave on the 5,000,000 Million dollar boondoggle (or at least a story on that bill, maybe with a different theme, but I have no hope that Mitch will hold tight.)
I keep getting told that he’s a legislative genius.
Mitch McConnell … “legislative genius”? Or pasty, white mamma’s boy trying to not get pummenled in the schoolyard because he looks and moves like a slow turtle in the Kentucky heat?
Hmmmm ….
I believe all the RA shows are recorded on the same day. The Waukesha incident may have happened after this week’s shows had been recorded.
They are but they usually record on Tuesdays. However with the holiday they may have recorded today.
Steve, there IS such a lab. It’s in East central China in a little town called Xiamen, in the province of Futian. They do gain of function research to make cheap whitefish taste like tuna, then package the results and sell to unsuspecting companies like Subway…..
One of the many projects funded by Eco Health Alliance, and the NIH. After all, National Institute of Health is concerned about consumption of tuna and the mercury inside each tuna, so a grant was given to Eco Health Alliance to study changing whitefish to tuna.
(no facts were used in the above statement, but it sure sounds real)
I like it. And I note that while the suit claims no tuna DNA, it doesn’t say that their was no fish DNA.
We saw what you did there….World Famous Angler and outdoor enthusiast Scott Ott went fishing for laughs with his comment about Bill’s “mercurial” personality…
Heard that, guess Bill and Steve missed it.
Just a sidenote; at the grocery store the other day I noticed that all the strawberry Pop Tarts were on clearance sale. I’m guessing they’re changing their packaging to say something like “strawberry-like substance flavoring” ?
ROFL! Thanks for starting my Monday off with some great laughs!
Well, Subway Tuna [May] Be Real, but Birds Aren’t.
The point that this frivolous charge is failing to address is that the Subway Tuna identifies as wild caught fish, so who is she to claim otherwise?
Just read the link you provided. That’s David P! Most importantly, how can I give this post 2.5 trillion thumbs up. I read it at least 4 times and minutes later this perfectly crafted boomerang comment hit me in the back of the noggin. Well played David P!
Even if Subway’s food weren’t crap, having Megan Rappinoe as the face of the company keeps me from ever setting foot in a Subway.
I would have never thought it possible to find someone more unlikab;e than Jared (who I couldn’t stand before it was revealed he was a Lincoln Project wanna be)
Given that Subways are franchises, I can visit a couple near me and support a guy I know (about 3 degrees of Kevin Bacon) and employ some local high schoolers. We don’t have any Cousins Subs and there is only one Jersey Mikes in the next town over, leaving me with “make it myself” or picking something else.
The strawberry pop tarts did have strawberry in them. If all ingredients are listed, and it tastes like strawberries, who cares? However, if the menu for Subway doesn’t have all the ingredients listed, you have a serious issue. There are food allergies (I have one, but not serious, just painful gas) or religious objections (like pork) that make it very serious. Even deadly in the case of allergies. To me, this is scary.
Anyone with serious allergies that eat at fast food chains is taking their lives in their hands. Their is almost no way to know what might be in the “protein” as the processing plants go from item to item and are allowed some cross contamination.
Non fast food chains are only marginally better.
The guys with the lawsuit already amended it — guess for the good reason they findings were, khm, not accurate wrt the claim. Now they try a fuzzy path on claiming “not 100%” and “maybe not environmentally sustainable catch”. That is IMHO in itself admission that the tuna is there alright.
They are just fishing for fame and virtue signaling chances — and maybe some money ripoff.
Hard to market Pigeon McNuggets.
Give my a double old fashioned and five minutes and I will have 20 tags for you. Fifteen minutes if the secretary that brings it has nice legs.

Double that if the secretary is Cristina Hendricks!! ROWR!
If the secretary is Christina Hendricks…. I’ll not be back.
You’ll be in your bunk?
Can’t stand fish. So don’t care.
Why would anyone eating at Subway think that they’re getting actual meat?
