Following an agreement between the two parties, Karen Dhanowa and Nilima Amin, plaintiffs in a California Northern District lawsuit against Subway who previously claimed that the restaurant’s tuna is fake filed an amended complaint on Monday altering their allegations to claims that the tuna is not “100% tuna” from sustainable fisheries as Subway claimed.
In the initial complaint filed on January 21 against Subway Restaurants Inc., Franchise World Headquarters LLC, and Subway Franchise Advertising Trust Fund LTD, the plaintiffs claimed that Subway’s products represented as tuna are falsely advertised and labeled. The complaint said “in reality, the Products do not contain tuna nor have any ingredient that constitutes Tuna.” It alleged that Subway’s tuna is falsely advertised because consumers will pay more if they believe it is tuna.
2 California Customers Sue Subway over Tuna February 1, 2021
Two San Francisco Bay Area residents have sued the fast-food chain Subway alleging that its tuna is “anything but tuna” and calling it “tuna salad” constitutes fraud and false advertising.
Plaintiffs Karen Dhanowa and Nilima Amin, two Alameda County residents, claim in their lawsuit filed last week in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that Subway has been trying to “capitalize on the premium price consumers are willing to pay for tuna,” the East Bay Times reported.
Dhanowa and Amin had samples from several California restaurants analyzed and the filling was determined to be “a mixture of various concoctions that do not constitute tuna, yet have been blended together by defendants to imitate the appearance of tuna,” according to the complaint. However, the complaint doesn’t say precisely what the lab tests discovered in lieu of tuna.
