Original review summary

The review says the claim lacks solid proof: the lawsuit’s DNA findings were not proven in court, and experts noted that processing can make tuna DNA difficult to detect. It also reports that a separate investigation found tuna DNA in all samples tested and that Subway says its products use skipjack and yellowfin tuna.[S1]

Additional context

The lawsuit was filed in January 2021 and dismissed with prejudice in July 2023, according to the review. [S1]
