A dead rat was found inside a Subway sandwich that a customer had ordered in the US.
Matt Jones, who had ordered a teriyaki chicken sandwich, had been watching the staff set about preparing an Italian sub for his friend when he noticed something was wrong.
“I got my drink, turned around and they were in shock like something happened. There was a mouse in there. It was gross,” he told KGW-TV.

“It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen, but it’s also the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. I laughed because I was like, there is no way this just happened,” he added.
Jones and his friend did not press charges against the restaurant. However, they were not very overjoyed when Subway only refunded the cost of their sandwich, which is $6.
In a statement, Subway said, “To be cautious, all of the products in the sandwich unit were disposed of and a thorough cleaning took place, in which the Health Department gave the restaurant a clean bill of health. There were no other complaints made.”
Cheryl Connell, director of Lincoln County Health and Human Services, said there was little chance of someone getting ill from eating food the rat had touched.
