Two California residents have filed a lawsuit against Subway sandwiches claiming that the tuna fish is not real but an imitation, according to a report.

Applied Food Technologies is one of the only labs in the country with the ability to test broken-down fish DNA, which makes it more accurate in testing processed tuna.
