Subway?

The only place I've ever got food poisoning was subway, and it was so bad that I've never gone back. To be fair it was a chicken sub, but they use the same gloves to handle all the foods.

Could you make your own vege patties at home? They aren't very hard to do.

They don't if you ask them not to. It sounds bad but I ate subway all thru pregnancy, didn't have chicken, asked for them toasted after the meat was on etc etc. I knew the guy who managed the one I went to and just asked him to change his gloves around. I also trust he was honest about how long salads were out, he opened a fresh carrot for me when the other one was close to finished just to be safe.

My DH owns a Subway...he brought home a stack of the vege patties the other night for our freezer...I agree they are yum..I had never had on before andnow I think I am addicted...he thinks they fine he is quite anal about food safety. But maybe ask MW?

I love subway, ate it through my last pregnancy and have had it a few times so far this time.

I guess it comes down to what WRXandJosh said - your body, your baby.

I ate subway when I was pregnant with Dominic but I was working as a flight attendant and the options for dinner and lunch were limited, never had the meat ones though. Just be anal about asking them to change their gloves and the double heating is good too.

I won't eat Subway. I think I'm almost more concerned about the salad's being left out and not washed and the same gloves going from meat to salad. Although I'm not eating deli meat either. Such a bummer as I really want a subway sandwich!

^ thats sounds like such a yum idea!

I was a;ways bit paranoid about the salad and chicken

I haven't eaten it during either pregnancy. Pre-prepared salads are the worst thing to be eating, especially if you don't even know if they've washed them and they are using the same gloves etc. And also reheated meats that have been sitting out for ages - yuck.   I avoid it like the plague, even though I normally love it.

I am a food tech / nutritionist, so probably more concerned about the food poisoning issue than most. But as my doc said, would you want to be one of the couple of people a year who lose their bub, for the sake of a chicken/ham/deli meat or salad sammie. No thanks!
