Footage shows Subway employee zapping bugs near food
It seems like some Subway sandwiches could now be coming with extra protein.
Concerned customer Justin Clemons uploaded a video of a disturbing incident at a Franklin, Indiana story to Facebook.
The footage shows a Subway employee zapping bugs near the sandwich counter.
"If I don't record this, I don't think anyone in their right mind will believe this is happening right now," Clemons told News 8.
The restaurant reportedly closed yesterday as local health department officials conducted an investigation.
"Please share, this is the most unsanitary thing I've ever witnessed at a restaurant," Clemons wrote in his Facebook post.
Health department officials said that the employee was only zapping gnats, not large flies.
"We didn't want to see this over the food area," John Bonsett, director of environmental health for Johnson County, told News 8.
UPDATE: Subway sent the following statement in response to the story:
Food safety is our top priority. All Subway restaurants are individually owned and operated. As soon as the restaurant owner was made aware of the situation, he immediately took action by closing his restaurant and discarding all open products. He has contracted a professional cleaning service to ensure that the restaurant is in top working order.
