Despite being one of the most successful articles in the subway menu, one of the largest sandwiches in the United States, the sandwich of marinara meatballs is curiously one of the dishes that the company’s employees advise to avoid.
The classic combination of meatballs, marinara sauce, melted cheese and Italian bread has won thousands of fans over the years. However, for the disappointment of lovers of this Sandwich inspired by Italian, according to an article published in The Takeout, it is among the various menus voices that the subway employees recommend to customers not to ask.
The most alarming motif to avoid the sandwich of metro meatballs is in the conditions of conservation of the meatballs. A discussion of Reddit among the current and old metro employees revealed disconcerting inconsistencies in the storage and management of the meatballs between different units of the network, as well as a distinctive lack of clarity in relation to the official protocol.
Some employees have reported that any remaining meatball should be discarded at the end of the day for food safety reasons, while others have revealed that their workplaces have regularly maintained the meatballs at night or even longer periods.
Inappropriate storage can lead to health risks
In addition to the obvious loss of freshness, the precarious storage conditions of the meatballs described by the subway employees are worrying because frequent cooling and heating can expose them to the so -called conservation of the “dangerous” food, a temperature range between 4 and 60 degrees Celsius, where bacteria can proliferate quickly.
According to the article, a report published in 2020 from Springfield News Leader has revealed repeated occurrences of meatballs preserved at inadequate temperatures for the danger area in a local subway unit.
Although many shops in the United States is likely to be adequately stored the meatballs to avoid risks for food safety, it seems that some of them do not do it.
