Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT SubwayTunaFacts.com explains that the sandwich chain's tuna is, in fact, real. Subway's tuna sandwich has had about as tough of a year as a sandwich can have. In January, a class-action lawsuit was filed alleging that Subway's tuna doesn't actually contain any tuna at all. Of course, lawsuits can be filed without being true, but in a world where Subway has become an easy punching bag, the bold claim received plenty of press. Then, last month, things got worse: Hoping to get to the bottom of the viral story, the New York Times sent Subway's tuna to a lab…

Earlier in July, the CDC asked a…
