Allegations of fish fraud at Subway continue after a federal judge refused the fast-food chain's request to dismiss a lawsuit claiming that its tuna sandwiches "partially or wholly" lack tuna.
In January 2021, plaintiffs Karen Dhanowa and Nilima Amin filed several versions of a proposed class action lawsuit, accusing Subway of deceiving the public about the contents of its tuna, which is advertised as "100% tuna." In a November 2021 version of the lawsuit, the plaintiffs alleged that lab testing showed a sample of the tuna contained animal proteins such as chicken and pork.
