Subway

i know you cant eat ham and other deli type foods. what stuff off the subway menu can be eaten. can you have meatball and steak because they are hot etc... the menu items are:

Meatball, Italian BMT (peperoni, salami, ham), Spicy italian (pep, salami), steak and cheese, chicken and bacon ranch, roast beef, turkey, sweet onion chicken teriyaki, and roasted chicken. and tuna

i have still eaten it if i craved it.... i have the chicken fillet but ask them to heat it that lil bit extra. i used to wrk there so i know the napier one is pretty good for freshness and the meat and cheese is sitting in a refridgerated cabinet. all in all it each to their own i guess with what you do and dont eat

ETA: you could always have just a vegie one which i found really refreshing

The only time I've ever had food poisioning was from Subway - I'm guessing from the salad. I would say beware but most people haven't had any issues with it.

This is one thing ive always been curious about.

A nurse told me to stay away from subway and delis.

SO i have been to wary to go to subway even tho it is my fave fast food place.

However as i was a vege before i got preg i only ever ate the vege delite, would that be worse to eat then a hot meat sub??

I only eat a little bit of meat now, mostly just red meat as i had a bad time with iron pills i figure this is the best way for bubs to get the iron, but i am still more inclined to straight vege food.

so would rather have a vege delite then a hot meat one.

i was going to have one once- was watching the lady serving up the food and she was MAJORLY cross contaminating, i was quite disgusted that i didnt get one.
i watched as she touched the cold meat the using the same hand/glove picked up the salad stuffs to put on the roll.
even if others there had been using diffferent hands etc... the fact that she obviously didnt was enoough to give me warning bells.... listeria written all over it!

I've been pretty anal about delis and pre-prepared things and haven't had Subway. I think it's also the smell that puts me off. Bad case of pregnancy nose!
I think its really a case of each to their own tho when it comes to what you eat.

I ate subway when I was pregnant!(The hot ones only) And Caden is good and healthy!

ETA-Not all the time though, I DID stay clear of cold meats, was paranoid about that!

Me too! I've never thrown up so much in my life! Ever since I've felt queasy just walking past a subway. Me three!!! I avoided subway while I was preggers because of the whole pre-prepared salad thing but had never had any problems with it until 2 weeks ago. Mum & I shared a foot long sub & we were both as sick as anything! So I would be kind of careful...

Me four! DH and I had meatballs and was sick as dogs! DH occasionally will eat there but I haven't eaten there since.

I was strict when I was pregnant and wouldn't touch things like that with a barge pole. I went into one subway when I was pg with a friend and it didn't look that great to me. You have to be careful of cross contamination and also if they have washed the salads properly. It doesn't appeal to me that they cook the meats early in the day and it sits there all day then they reheat for you.    

Subway totally made me sick when I was pregnant. I couldn't even walk into a shopping mall that had a Subway without having to run to the bathroom. The smell was horrendous to me. It was so bad that one day I had to pull over to the side of the road and throw up when I heard an ad on the radio advertising Subway LOL!

Don't risk it. Its just not that yummy

I love it and have a friend who manages one, I have no concerns about cross contamination etc, but I don't have the chicken ones and I only have them toasted. I've only had it about once a month.
