Dead rodent discovered in Subway sandwich

Matt Jones says he was at a Subway restaurant in Lincoln City, Oregon with some coworkers on Oct. 6 when he heard a commotion at the counter. He says when his friend opened up his Italian sandwich, he found a dead rodent between the spinach and cheese.



“Thankfully it was discovered before Jay took a bite of a dead mouse!” Jones said. Jones says he returned his own sandwich to the manager because it also had spinach on it, and got a full refund.

The Lincoln County Health Department says it was immediately notified and health inspectors investigated. A health official said the rodent was found in the sandwich before the inspector arrived and was viewed by the inspector when he came to the business.

According to Cheryl Connell, the director of Lincoln County Health and Human Services, the rodent did not come from inside the Subway. “The inspector determined the most likely way the rodent got into the restaurant was through the bagged spinach product the restaurant issues for the sandwiches,” Connell said.
