Dont eat at wawa! - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I went to grab a sandwich at wawa today. I noticed that tomatoes were missing from the options. I thought nothing of it, and ordered my sandwich. Then while standing in line, I heard some of the workers throwing out the premade sandwiches. I thought it was odd, but I bought my sandwich anyway.

Then when I got home I had a funny feeling and figured Id call up wawa and ask them what was up. Turns out that anything with tomatoes was pulled for possible E-Coli contamination. They said that no one at their store got sick, and that they just got an email from their main office telling them to pull the products just in case.

Even though my sandwich didn't have any tomatoes on it, I went back and got a refund. Better safe then sorry. All of their food gets made in the same prep are and if one thing is contaminated, then there is a good chance that all of it is. Figured you guys would want to know.

Thats good.
I had it like 2 days ago with tomatoes too, and Ive been fine, but its something to keep in mind until they clear this up.

bmatyeah · 06-07-2008, 12:15 AM

this happens a lot more then you know. most places keep it low key so you don't go telling everyone everywhere!

See my edit, lol.

lagos · 06-07-2008, 12:20 AM

Yeah, I notice that. They were definitely trying to keep it on the down low. I mention that they should have a note posted or something, and they said they did somewhere by the register, but I never saw it. If they had something right at the computer where I place my order, I wouldnt have bought it in the fist place.

Oh man. It could be related.
I dont think your going to get deathly sick or anything, but the fact that you got the ****s proves there was something not right with the food.

Contaminated from wawa or the farm?

Reminds me of "Attack of the killer tomatoes". Random.

lagos · 06-07-2008, 12:46 AM

They said it was a problem with their supplier in Florida.

den9 · 06-07-2008, 01:01 AM

not a big fan of wawa anyway, someone should call the news and let them spread the word lol

J.Ralli · 06-07-2008, 02:12 AM

its not the end of the world, think of every store/restaurant that handles tomatoes as well, what do they tell you?

.brian. · 06-07-2008, 07:00 AM

i am getting wawa today. i will report back tonight.

CleanNeon98 · 06-07-2008, 07:03 AM

Seriously just cause of one thing that happens you cant ignore the chain for the rest of your life...you can but why. Ive never been sick from wawa anyway, and their food is pretty damn good. Think of the other places that had these problems...does spinach ring a bell??

DropTopChevy · 06-07-2008, 07:05 AM

I used to get sick sometimes from tomatoes on my wawa hoagies, now I just order them without it.

ITSTOCK · 06-07-2008, 07:57 AM

Good thing I don't eat tomatoes on my sandwich. I'll be going there in about 3 hours for lunch.

J.E.T. · 06-07-2008, 08:05 AM

Had a Wawa Roast Beef Hoagie with tomatoes yesterday for lunch and have no signs of sickness. Which Wawa did this happen at?

Steps to ensure that you don't get sick from buying prepared food.

1) Grow your own tomatoes, lettuce, pigs, flour, etc.
2) Make BLT.

If you're not going to eat at Wawa because they bought some bad tomatoes, don't go to the grocery store either. You might buy the same thing. Don't go out to eat anywhere either. Fast food - forget it. They buy tomatoes too.

coleycole · 06-07-2008, 08:15 AM

I'm not one to say that WAWA has great hoagies because they don't, but when I work late its real convenient to stop there on the way home and pick something up. No longer will I do that though, the last 4 times I went there after 9 and ordered a hoagie (no tomatos) I was up and sick to my stomach all night. It only seems to happen when I get them at night...so I wonder if its the mayo or cheese being left out of the fridge all day. Something to think about
