According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, forty-eight Illinoisans contracted a rare form of salmonella after eating at Subway restaurants in June 2010. Out of the forty-eight, seventeen were hospitalized. This illness has reached as far as 18 counties. Subway isn’t aware of the specific food that was contaminated, but them and FDA are working together to figure out where exactly the problem is coming from.
In 2008, Subway had additional problems with salmonella in Great Britain. Subway sold contaminated meat for about five months which causes 120 illnesses and one death. These problems result in revenue issues within the company especially in Illinois. To promote the new breakfasts, Chicago and Northwest Indiana would give away breakfast sandwiches for free from 7-11 a.m. on Tuesdays. Any effort to promote their business is a plus.
