The lawsuit casting doubt on whether Subway’s tuna is actually completely made of tuna has been dismissed

• Subway and a plaintiff have agreed to dismiss a lawsuit casting doubt on what its tuna contains.
• Claims included that the tuna contained no tuna and that it had traces of other animal DNA.
• Subway has vigorously defended its tuna and has asked the court to sanction the plaintiff’s lawyers.

A lawsuit casting doubt on what Subway’s tuna contains has been dismissed around 30 months after it was first filed.

The class-action lawsuit, filed in January 2021, initially claimed that Subway’s tuna products “entirely lack any trace of tuna” and instead are made up of “a mixture of various concoctions.” The two plaintiffs amended their claims in June to instead allege that Subway didn’t serve customers the 100% sustainably-caught skipjack and yellowfin tuna it advertised.
