A recall has been issued by Big Y Foods, based in Springfield, Massachusetts for some made-to-order subs, wraps, and paninis due to potential Salmonella contamination. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious infections in animals and humans, especially those in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Background
The recall was initiated because they have been linked to a nationwide Salmonella outbreak currently under investigation by federal, state, and local health authorities.
Sliced cucumber is an option for customers to add to their sandwiches when ordering.
All sandwiches were products on customer request and were not pre-packaged for self-service.
In response, the company said that all operations at the listed stores were temporarily halted, discarded product on the sandwich line, and then cleaned and sanitized the area.
