is subway ok?

[snowchickie79]

does anyone know if it is ok to have subway while PG?
I always get a hot meat option and get it toasted???

I dont see why not... I was bad and ate sushee( sp?) while PG with DD1 did her no harm...

I personally wouldn't have anything that had any deli meats or reheated or cold chicken. I also wouldn't have anything that has any of their creamy dressings in it. If you look at my ticker I have a bad history so I don't take any risks and am probably a little paranoid about food, so I don't know if I'm the best person to give advice.

I recall a thread on this ages ago. I think the general concensus was that no, it's not really ok because none of the salad or meat is actually fresh, so there is a listeria risk. Toasted would certainly be better, but probably wouldn't heat it enough to make it ok. Sorry to be a bummer!

i had subway yesterday and now i'm really paranoid about it. Last night i had a massive migraine which of course i couldn't really take anything for so now i'm really worried about it.

It is possible to be tested for listeria?

[MantaRay]

Don't worry about it snowchickie. The chances of getting listeria aren't that high, so I'm sure you'll be fine. I'd just avoid it from now on.

I ate it but not in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. There is so much emphasis these days on what to eat/what not to eat. Although I didn't have it all the time, I had it rarely and the meat was really hot.

Hmm. toasted would only be good for the bits you roast (ie: not salad). At least Subway is a popular choice and the turnover of salads would be fairly quick. Though I guess they chop it all at the start of the day? So Subway breakfast would be the safest time of day (how unappealing is that thought!).

Oh I feel like Subway now, lol

I ate it heaps through my pregnancy. We had a subway just outside our office and I could smell it all day long so I just had to eat it! I got the hot meat options too. I'd go in and have a look around and if it looked a bit dodgy, I'd go somewhere else, but if it looked ok then I ordered. The subway I went to was relatively busy (busy business district) so they were frequently bringing out new stuff from the back.
