I was at Subway today and they had tomatos. Do you think the tomatos might have salmonella?

Question

I am in virginia. I didn't get any tomatos but I was wondering if the cross contamination could make me sick. I guess I'll find out in 12 hours.

Answer 5

have u ever try it be 4?

well i have it is really good  4 u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do they even have tomatos over there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

No, I don't think you have to worry. I eat at Subway all the time. And lots of other fast food places, and never got sick.

Answer 7

I don't know what kind of tomato subway had but I work in a grocery store and we are still allowed to sell any tomato still attached to the vine and small tomatoes like grape tomatoes. I think you'll be ok.

Answer 8

Oh my god they had tomatoes...a fresh fruit (or vegetable) I say don't do it eat snickers drink dew and live a full life...who need organic foods anyway...........Ka-Kow

Answer 9

it could but its a very slim chance and subway is a BIG company now i am not saying its 100% safe but if you do get sick you can sue the c**p out of them for selling bad food lol but becuase they are a big company they are alittle safer now dont hold me to it i dont live there so i cant tell you for sure you know

Answer 10

Weird, my daughter works at Subway, the company pulled all Tomatoes on Sunday, I saw the notice, it was a corporate notice that was sent to all stores across the nation....I wonder if that store just didnt get the message or why they hadnt pulled theirs yet.

Answer 11

very doubtful..

Answer 12

i beleive its only mcdonalds and taco bell.

Answer 13

Yes They Do....... My friend at work got a meatball sandwich with tomatoes on it and ended up sick and in the hospital that night

Answer 14

Call the health department and let them know!

Answer 15

um yea about that don't u know that there tomatoes were there there was salmonella because when nobody uses the tomatoes or any food they just preserve it for the next day

Answer 16

Maybe.I have decided that I am not going to eat tomatos from any fast food resteraunt just to  be safe.Since my grandparents have their own tomato garden I might eat some of those in spaghetti but not from fast food resteraunts.Plus I really don't care for tomatos anyway.I would rather be safe than sorry if I were you.

Answer 17

I wouldn't worry. mostly where salmonella infected tomatoes are originating is Mexico...Where a subway in virginia would get tomatoes is more likely from virginia or the surrounding states.

Answer 18

Someone's paranoid. "OMG A TMOATO I R GUNNA DAI :("

Answer 19

No subway is usually clean. And if you do get sick you can always complain!

Answer 20

It's possible. They should have had all the tomatos out of there by now though? :S

Answer 21

I strongly doubt it.  We live in a culture of fear mongering, proliferated by the media.

Answer 22

uh no not from tomatoes you wouldnt, its possible to get it from the meat, particularly if it was chicken or processed lunch meat but not from salad materials

Answer 23

i dont think they do....i may b wrong but they shouldent

Answer 24

You'll find out soon enough. Probably not though.

Answer 25

you never know these tomatoes could end up anywhere now..so be very careful..

Answer 26

Are you sure? Because I was at Subway less than an hour ago here in Indiana--and they didn't have them at all! They said they were banned everywhere right now..

Answer 27

they probably dont have salmonella but I would not eat them for awhile just to be safe.

Answer 28

Not sure if the recall is going on in your area, there is only certain states this is happening in......but im in California and it is definetly here.

I went to Subway today too and they had signs everywhere saying NO TOMATOS

Answer 29

No, probably definitely not. Subway is a very good restaraunt!

Answer 30

possibly...

Answer 31

I used to work at subway and I don't think you really have to worry a cross contamination. They are usually pretty careful with changing their gloves, washing their hands, and normally the tomatoes don't come in contact with other food until they are on the sub. I hope this helped.
