It certainly can be confusing. 
After posting in this thread earlier I experienced a singular coincidence. I decided to put away an air mattress and placed it in the bottom of the built in wardrobe in my spare bedroom. Laying on the floor was a small packet of folded paper with printing on it. Unfolded, it turned out to be 5 unused Subway paper napkins. They had the company logo, “eat fresh,” and dietary details for several six inch sandwiches.
It has been years since I went to a Subway. I cannot remember when I last ate there.
However, the 9 sandwiches listed did not include the tuna melt.
‘New keyboard’ ‘startled cat’ etc… 
When served as sushi, escolar is delicious. I have intestinal issues if I eat it, sadly.
Orphan.
The very best quality cut of Orphan.
Well, I know it’s not a piano…
because you can tune a piano but you can’t tuna fish…
In small quantities I quite like it.
This sort of thing also attracts a lot of very unpleasant sorts of attention from the authorities. Selling food is subject to a great many rules.
Those immense drift nets pull in a lot of by-catch, that often gets tossed overboard. I seem to recall an issue concerning marine mammals. If it is not tuna and it is not fish, perhaps it is some of that by-catch. Which would probably not be Subway’s fault directly, just that they picked a questionable supplier.
Subway is probably better off purchasing canned tuna and “freshly” mixing it with mayonnaise than purchasing a premixed “salad” made to their specifications. This case will go nowhere and the counter suit will be substantial. A few articles mention CBC used Trent University to test the percentage of chicken in the chicken at Subway. Originally, a court refused to allow Subway to sue due to “public interest”. But of course it affected their sales. An appeal court is allowing them to sue for loss of reputation and damaged business.
That’s what they do. Well the ‘canned tuna’ is bagged tuna.

Is that a tuna roll in your pocket, or are you just happy sashimi?
I have no information on their tuna, but the Irish Supreme Court recently ruled that Subway bread is not in fact bread.
It’s sugar content is to be high to be classed as bread, apparently.
There was a question on a newspaper in Finland that asked how come certain sausages claim that they contain more than 100% of meat. The answer was that the meat is weighted fresh and the sausage after it’s dried so 100g of sausage could have been made of 120g of meat.
Would you like that on the wheat pastry, the italian pastry, the Herb & Cheese pastry, or would you like to try our new multigrain pastry wrap?
This is why I stopped eating their tuna – just way too much mayo. Haven’t eaten at the Sub in a while but I used to get the tuna fairly often and never thought it wasn’t tuna. I started eating some of their other subs, which were ‘meh’ but good when hungry.
Huh. I thought tuna was caught with poles or trolling. But then I remembered ‘dolphin-safe’ tuna, and that the problem was dolphins were being caught in nets. I blame cerebral flatulence on my part.
Anyway…
What’s in it: Well, tuna, duh. But what kind of tuna? Probably not bluefin, given that a single one of those babies sold recently in Tokyo for over $400,000—$530 per pound. Their ingredients list cites only “dolphin-safe tuna,” but further digging reveals Subway uses canned chunk-light tuna, which is mostly comprised of Albacore, Bigeye, Skipjack, and Yellowfin.
Sustainability rating: Bottom of the barrel at least as far as this list is concerned. Seafood Watch explains that the sustainability of canned tuna varies greatly based on the method by which the fish are caught. Canned tuna labeled troll- or pole-caught is the most eco-friendly, but these tuna are typically labeled as “white” or “light,” not “chunk light.” The chunk light tuna used by Subway carries an “avoid” rating.
I would think that the tuna they use is similar to the tuna I get for 59 cents a can. Tastes fine with some mayo and relish.
Sure, but if you look at it from Subway’s perspective, it makes a lot of sense. They already use a large amount of mayonnaise as a condiment on sandwiches, so they’re always going to have large quantities of that around. And canned tuna is something that has an almost eternal shelf life at room temperature if it’s unopened.
So they can keep their supply chain and in-store storage simpler by just basically shipping slightly more mayonnaise than they might otherwise, along with cans of tuna that require no special refrigeration or handling. Then at the store itself, they can mix it in one-can lots as needed.
That way, if you’re at a store that sells a lot of tuna sandwiches, you can adjust the tuna & mayonnaise separately, and vice-versa at a store that doesn’t sell much tuna. This would waste less and be easier to handle in the store.
I’d be willing to bet that there’s some foreign fruit jam that’s labeled “Fruit spread” here in the US instead of jam, jelly or preserves, because the fruit content doesn’t fall in the exact range for those labels.
Same exact thing with Subway bread in Ireland. Doesn’t have anything to do with quality or deception whatsoever.
