金枪鱼三明治不含金枪鱼?

 Amber看世界 2022-07-17 发布于重庆

1.A federal judge says a woman's lawsuit against Subway can move forward, refusing the restaurant chain's request to dismiss the suit that alleges its tuna sandwiches "partially or wholly" lack tuna.

一名联邦法官表示,一名女性对赛百味的诉讼可以继续进行,拒绝这家连锁餐厅要求驳回指控其“部分或全部”金枪鱼三明治不含金枪鱼的诉讼。

2.Plaintiff Nilima Amin of Alameda County, Calif., says Subway misled her and other consumers by saying its sandwiches and other products contain "tuna" and "100% tuna."

加利福尼亚州阿拉米达县的原告尼利玛·阿明说,赛百味误导了她和其他消费者,称其三明治和其他产品含有“金枪鱼”和“100% 金枪鱼”。

3.Amin's lawsuit cites a marine biologist who analyzed 20 samples of tuna offerings from 20 different Subway restaurants and found "no detectable tuna DNA sequences whatsoever" in 19 samples. 

阿明的诉讼援引一位海洋生物学家的话说,他分析了来自 20 家不同赛百味餐厅的 20 份金枪鱼产品样本,并在 19 份样本中发现“没有任何可检测到的金枪鱼 DNA 序列”。

4.But, Amin says, the samples did contain other types of animal DNA, such as from chicken and pork.

但是,阿明说,这些样本确实包含其他类型的动物 DNA,例如来自鸡肉和猪肉的 DNA。

5.Subway asked U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar to dismiss the case, saying in part that its tuna sandwich routinely includes other ingredients, such as mayonnaise (which contains eggs).

赛百味要求美国地方法官 约翰·泰格尔驳回此案,部分原因是其金枪鱼三明治通常包含其他成分,例如蛋黄酱(含有鸡蛋)。

6.Subway also says a reasonable consumer watching a "sandwich artist" prepare their order would recognize that there's a chance for cross-contact between various ingredients.

赛百味还表示,观看过“三明治大厨师”准备订单的理性消费者会认识到各种成分之间存在交叉接触的机会。

7.But Tigar recently ruled that Amin's lawsuit should continue, saying the facts at the heart of the case aren't settled. 

但 泰格尔最近裁定阿明的诉讼应继续进行,称案件的核心事实尚未解决。

8.He also noted that some of the allegations "refer to ingredients that a reasonable consumer would not reasonably expect to find in a tuna product."

他还指出,一些指控“提到了合理的消费者不会合理地期望在金枪鱼产品中找到的成分”。

9.As that quote suggests, the case centers on what consumers expect when they order a tuna sandwich: The word "tuna" appears 244 times in the plaintiff's 28-page amended complaint.

正如那句话所暗示的那样,本案的重点是消费者在订购金枪鱼三明治时的期望:“金枪鱼”一词在原告长达 28 页的修订诉状中出现了 244 次。

10.Amin is seeking a jury trial and class-action status for her lawsuit, which accuses Subway of fraud, false advertising, and unfair competition. 

阿明正在为她的诉讼寻求陪审团审判和集体诉讼地位,该诉讼指控赛百味欺诈、虚假广告和不公平竞争。

11.The suit seeks restitution, punitive damages and "disgorgement of all ill-gotten gains" from Subway, one of the top-grossing restaurant chains in the U.S.

该诉讼要求美国收入最高的连锁餐厅之一赛百味进行赔偿、惩罚性赔偿和“返还所有不义之财”。

12.In response to a request from NPR, a Subway spokesperson insisted on the integrity of its fish sandwich, stating, "Subway serves 100% tuna."

应 美国广播公司的要求,赛百味发言人坚持其鱼三明治的完整性,并表示:“赛百味供应的是 100% 的金枪鱼。”

13.Of Judge Tigar's ruling, they added, "We are disappointed the Court felt it couldn't dismiss the plaintiffs' reckless and improper lawsuit at this stage."

他们补充说,对于泰格尔法官的裁决,“我们感到失望的是,法院认为它在现阶段无法驳回原告鲁莽和不当的诉讼。”

14.The suit repeatedly states that when someone orders a tuna sandwich, they should not be given a sandwich that contains "other fish species, animal products, or miscellaneous products."

该诉讼一再指出,当有人订购金枪鱼三明治时,不应给他们一份包含“其他鱼类、动物产品或杂项产品”的三明治。

15.Months after the lawsuit emerged in early 2021, more questions arose about Subway's tuna when The New York Times reported that testing it commissioned of fish samples from three Subway locations found "no amplifiable tuna DNA" of the five tuna species for which it tested.

在 2021 年初诉讼出现几个月后,当《纽约时报》报道称,它委托对赛百味三个地点的鱼类样本进行测试时,发现其测试的五种金枪鱼“没有可扩增的金枪鱼 DNA”,引发了更多关于赛百味金枪鱼的问题。

16.In response to the allegations, Subway has maintained that it uses "wild-caught skipjack tuna regulated by the Food and Drug Administration" — as the company states on a special website it created called SubwayTunaFacts.com.

作为对这些指控的回应,赛百味坚称它使用的是“受食品和药物管理局监管的野生鲣鱼”——正如该公司在其专门创建的名为 SubwayTunaFacts.com 网站上所说的那样。

17.Subway says the Times report is false, and relies on a type of DNA test that can't reliably determine whether a food sample contains tuna, particularly if the meat has been cooked and processed.

赛百味表示,《泰晤士报》的报道是错误的,并且依赖于一种 DNA 测试,无法可靠地确定食物样本中是否含有金枪鱼,尤其是在肉类已经煮熟和加工的情况下。

18.The lawsuit against Subway states that lab testing of tuna samples targeted four different primers, including vertebrates and tuna. 

针对赛百味的诉讼称,金枪鱼样本的实验室测试针对四种不同的引物,包括脊椎动物和金枪鱼。

19.The most recent complaint doesn't single out any specific type of tuna, although earlier versions of the complaint did.

最近的投诉没有单独列出任何特定类型的金枪鱼,尽管早期版本的投诉确实如此。

20.The judge in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California did give Subway a partial victory, dismissing the claims of Amin's fellow plaintiff who hadn't confirmed whether she had paid for a Subway tuna sandwich. 

美国加利福尼亚州北区地方法院的法官确实让赛百味取得了部分胜利,驳回了阿明的原告同伴的主张,后者尚未证实她是否支付了赛百味金枪鱼三明治的费用。

21.He also dismissed part of Amin's suit that he described as stating a "tuna salad, sandwich, or wrap contains 100% tuna and nothing else."

他还驳回了阿明的部分诉讼,他称其为“金枪鱼沙拉、三明治或卷饼含有 100% 金枪鱼,仅此而已”。

22.Tigar gave Amin three weeks to respond to that portion of his ruling, before the case moves to the next stage.

在案件进入下一阶段之前,泰格尔给了阿明三周的时间来回应他的那部分裁决。
