GROSS! You Won’t Believe What Subway Customer Found in His Sandwich

You won’t want to believe what a customer found in their Subway sandwich.

NBC affiliate KWG reports:

LINCOLN CITY, Ore. – People who got spinach on their sandwich or salad at a Subway restaurant in Lincoln City earlier this month may have unknowingly eaten food tainted by a dead rodent.

But the state health department said it didn’t put anyone in danger of getting sick.

“They [health inspectors] consulted with physicians and we followed their advice that, although it is not very appetizing, the risk of someone becoming sick due to eating lettuce with those particular circumstances were very low,” explained Cheryl Connell, Dir. Of Lincoln County Health and Human Services.

The dead rodent ended up in customer Jay Armstead’s lunch.  But he said thankfully, it got noticed before he was served his sandwich or took a bite out of it.

“It was unfortunate I was the lucky recipient,” Armstead told KGW. “It was wet and dead.  His tail was curled up and you could see his two front teeth.”

“It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen, but it’s also the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen,” Jones said, recalling his initial reaction. “I laughed because I was like, there is no way this just happened.”

The incident happened on Tuesday, October 6, just before 2 p.m., in the Subway located at 4648 US Highway 101 in Lincoln City.

Jones said the employee made his teriyaki chicken sandwich (complete with a splash of spinach) and then started working on his friend Jay’s Italian sub.

Apparently Jay wanted some spinach, too. So the employee scraped the last spoonful out of the bin and plopped it onto the bread.

“I got my drink, turned around and they were in shock like something happened,” Jones said. “There was a mouse in there. It was gross.”
