Consumers who like to dive into a tuna fish sub at Subway may be in for a surprise: the tuna is actually mystery meat, according to a lawsuit filed this month in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

 

As reported by LegalNewsline.com on Tuesday, the lawsuit alleges that the “’tuna’ is a mixture of various concoctions that do not constitute tuna, yet have been blended together (by Subway) to imitate the appearance of tuna,” according to the lawsuit filed on Jan. 21.

 

Plaintiffs Karen Dhanowa and Nilima Amin are alleging fraud, unjust enrichment and other violations of California law, according to the legal news website.

 

“Defendants have engaged in economic adulteration by selling a food product that partially or wholly lacked the valuable constituents of tuna, and that had been substituted in part or whole,” the lawsuit states.

 

For those who want answers, the lawsuit doesn’t specify what the “tuna” concoction actually is.
