Wait. I'm pretty sure Subway sells tuna salad, not pure tuna. No wonder there's such a conundrum. Stupid journalists are stupid.

5 oz can = 2 ounces of water .30 ounces of oil and the rest tuna/ whitefish product.

They don't buy tuna in oil and there's about 4.5 oz tuna in water. "Whitefish" by any definition is way more expensive than tuna.

who goes to subway and orders anything other than the spicy italian anyway?

Yes, Italians, the only meat cheaper than tuna.

Reminds me of when This American Life tracked down the rumor that 'imitation' calamari was hog butthole.

Ended up strongly doubting, but unable to definitively debunk.

Some mused that the entire episode was conjured to slyly promote food origin legislation.

No Chip Buttys?

FYP

people actually buy the tuna in oil?

I used to buy that because it's what I got as a kid. Then at some point I finally looked at the labels and realized that I was eating a lot of calories of oil, so I switched.

Why do they make cans of tuna in both oil and water? They don't really taste much different.

I remember learning a few years ago (from a Subway corporate exec…) that their “Italian” products are actually just Turks dyed with bronzer. For legal reasons, they do contain like 1% Snooki…

ikr, it's subway and they don't use kurobuta pork. gah.

i don't expect mcdonalds to serve waygu either.

Well, you should raise your expectations.
