Recently I was eating at Subway and it made me think of this article that I had read just a few months ago about Subway. In my hometown, there was a subway right next to where I worked who had lots of business and had just been criticized with a Salmonella outbreak. It was definitely interesting knowing that there was an outbreak right next to where I work, but also that there is one right on campus. At the time, I was wondering if we even needed to worry about the outbreak going into Iowa, considering how close Chicago is. It was very worry some at the time considering, I was going to a college that may have the same outbreak. Luckily, Iowa State did not get the outbreak. It seems weird that they would have a small outbreak, but Subway diden't really do much other than testing to their employees. They need to at least test the locations and shut down the locations temporarily to control the outbreak, which they did not. Although they did not, if it did spread into where I was working, the results would be catastrophic. Since Dominicks is a grocery store right next to it, it could contaminate more than half of our meat that we sell, and if necessary filling lawsuits against Subway for loss of profits due to contamination. Even though they did test employees and the case diden't spread, we should all be aware of what the results could have been if the results were much more severe than imaginable.
