As many Americans on the East Coast finalized dinner plans on Friday, Subway s corporate Twitter account posted a photo of a tuna salad sub sandwich decked with verdant spinach leaves and unbelievably plump tomato slices against a black background. The accompanying caption read, Keep fishing folks, we ll keep serving 100% wild-caught tuna.
It was a not-so-subtle subtweet directed at anyone who had come to doubt if Subway s tuna salad
actually contained tuna over the prior week after a lawsuit alleged that the chain s tuna products were instead made from a mixture of various concoctions.

As San Francisco Chronicle reporter Soleil Ho wrote, the lawsuit itself was kind of a non-story. The plaintiffs, Karen Dhanowa and Nilima Amin, and their attorney repeatedly declined to specify what was found in an analysis of the tuna salad.
