NY Times test finds no identifiable tuna DNA in Subway's tuna sandwich

Once the fish has been cooked, it’s hard to find any identifiable DNA at all.<p>So, kind of a non-story.<p>Now, go into the processing facility and grab the fish before it’s cooked, and test the DNA. Then you might have a story. Or maybe not.

This seems very unlikely to me. I&#x27;d believe it if they said there was cheaper fish in there as well, to pad it out. But it would take a huge effort to make a passable fake tuna with zero tuna in it. Tuna has a distinctive flavor and texture, and it wouldn&#x27;t be easy to turn pollock or tilapia into that.<p>So I&#x27;m curious about the tests. Cooking is one known reason why they might be incorrect. I&#x27;m sure there are others.
