Subway Sandwich Shop poisoned me BurlingameBurlingame California

I reported Subway to the Department of Health immediately. I didn't want this to happen to anyone else. I have gotten several calls from Subway, saying that they would give me free food if I went back there as an appreciation. I will never go back there again and have told friends and family never to eat there either. I told the owner of the particular Subway Shop of their suspect food. The owner repeated what the employee said to me which was they make two batches of the seafood/crab a day and that each batch is about a pound and they sold it out and didn't get any other customers calls about getting ill. A friend of mine who owns her own restaurant said that is a tactic that bad restaurants will do. They will deny everything and mention that no one else is sick and will pretty much accuse the customer of lying.

I should start this off by saying that the person you spoke to at Subway had no right to diagnose your condition over the phone. However, as someone who worked in restaurants for years and has gone through countless health dept. training programs, I know first hand that very few reports of foodborne illnesses are ever actually found to have resulted from where the consumer thought. Often it is in fact the case that someone who feels as though they got food poisining actually does have a stomach flu, with vomiting triggered by the meal in question. Keep in mind that all forms of foodborne illness take a minimum of two hours, and usually around 24 hours, before symptoms appear.

Like I said, however, the Subway worker had no right to decide what, in fact, was wrong with you. Nor could he or she have done anything about it. If you ever feel that you have been recieved a foodborne illness from a restaurant, contact your local health department immediately and they will dispatch someone to the site for a "surprise" inspection.

I hope you or your Dr. notified the local Health Department; they do investigate reports. Sometimes restaurants will skate really close to the edge on time limits to keep food, the proper temperatures to keep food; whatever it takes to save them a buck. And they will never admit it. The health dept will go in and make sure that the rules are being followed; if not, they get written up and even fined in some cases.
