""I've always wondered if any stores actually throw them out at 4 hours. I've worked in 17 different subways and have never once thrown them away.""
""Logistically, adhering to this policy can create a lot of waste, unless employees take steps to reduce it like preparing them later in the morning and stopping earlier in the day.""
""For the most part, though, it seems that employees keep meatballs in the hot well well past the four-hour mark and check their internal temperature with a food thermometer so they remain in a safe holding range.""
Subway's meatball sub faces scrutiny due to inconsistent heating and storage practices among locations. Employees often disregard the policy of discarding meatballs after four hours, leading to potential safety concerns. Many employees report keeping meatballs in the hot well beyond the recommended time, checking temperatures to ensure safety. This practice raises questions about food safety and quality for customers who enjoy the meatball sub. The combination of beef and pork meatballs with marinara sauce and cheese remains popular, but the risks may deter some customers.
