Sandwich giant Subway is back in court, being accused of making tuna sandwiches with anything but tuna.

California residents Karen Dhanowa and Nilima Amin have filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California claiming in court documents that “the Products do not contain tuna nor have any ingredient that constitutes tuna.” Plaintiffs further allege they were “tricked” into buying mislabeled food and that independent lab tests found that Subway tuna is actually “a mixture of various concoctions” blended together to look like tuna but that “the ingredients were not tuna and not fish.”

Subway served up a response, stating, “There simply is no truth to the allegations in the complaint that was filed in California. Subway delivers 100% cooked tuna to its restaurants, which is mixed with mayonnaise and used in freshly made sandwiches, wraps and salads that are served to and enjoyed by our guests.”

Subway’s statement goes on to note that “this lawsuit is part of a trend in which the named plaintiffs’ attorneys have been targeting the food industry in an effort to make a name for themselves in that space. Subway will vigorously defend itself against these and any other baseless efforts to mischaracterize and tarnish the high-quality products that Subway and its franchisees provide to their customers, in California and around the world, and intends to fight these claims through all available avenues if they are not immediately dismissed.”
