Source of Quizno's Salmonella Outbreak is Tomatoes
Larry Edmonson, an epidemiologist at the Olmsted County Public Health in Rochester, Minnesota, said studies have shown that tomatoes linked to a recent Salmonella outbreak in the area were contaminated before they reached a local Quiznos Subs restaurant, the Rochester Post-Bulletin reported. The October outbreak sickened more than 20 Quizno's customers and employees.
Despite the study findings, Quizno's isn't off the hook--it is still responsible for any illnesses linked to the restaurant. Restaurants are obligated to serve safe food to customers.
