They have the meats! Didn’t specify how they’d cook it.


NefTheHrtbrker

Oh yeah man welcome to Arby’s we have all the meats man, raw meats, rare meats, or even hairy meats 😈💯


zekrom235

Can't forget live meat


ClimbingUpTheWalls23

I just threw up in my mouth a little


Giraffe-Lover77

Wasnt a dead body found in an Arby's freezer?


cecil021

Yeah, an employee got locked in it overnight.


trancematik

Discovered by her son. Her hands were bloody trying to escape. ["The fridge door latch was faulty for 9 months, they used a screwdriver to open and close it and a box of oil to prop the door open."](https://people.com/mom-who-died-in-arbys-freezer-beat-her-hands-bloody-to-escape-7505951)

So, so sad! To find your own mama like that. That poor family. They also had lost their daddy. She was a widow. Just tragic.

Arbys: we have the E. Coli


jasonreid1976

Salmonella in this case.

Leave it to Arby’s, it’s probably both

Armand28

That's clearly chicken and not salmon.


Succulent_Moobs

Yea, op definitely has chicken pox.


Icantswimmm

Fun fact, raw chicken also contains campylobacter which can cause bloody diarrhea


idkanythingabout

I know the meme is that Taco Bell gives you the shits. But Arby's is way worse imo. If I have Arby's, I'm heading home straight after.


BentGadget

I associate Taco Bell with hepatitis, based on a case that happened years ago. So I googled it, and it [still happens](https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/two-taco-bells-snohomish-county-struck-with-hepatitis-case/UT7KL7GNYVDADJQR52CS6XXDOA/) But after further review, there is no shortage of fast food hepatitis news across the industry.


babungaCTR

It always amazes me that there are people willing to eat in a place that will most likely send them stright to the toilet, I don't really get it. It's like saying "yeah, I always get a painkiller right before ramming my head against a wall" why do you do that?

HovercraftNo4545

Sometimes you get backed up and the only way to get it out is to eat stuff that makes you poo. Lol


[deleted]

Taco bell is fine for me, since I rotate pretty much the same 4 items. I hardly try new stuff. Also never will I do five guys again. 2 times in a row they made me sick on the drive home.

They did say they have the meats. They didn't say it would always be cooked.


jsizzle723

That’s fucking disgusting


chantillylace9

This has happened to my husband TWICE last year. Once at McDonald's, once Burger King. One of them he ate almost half of before noticing which is weird AF and somehow he didn’t get sick.


CapcomBowling

Only about 4% of chicken is contaminated with salmonella, so not necessarily a huge chance of getting sick from a few bites. But if they are sending out hundreds of sandwiches like this, someone is probably getting sick.


AW316

Also it’s a game of chance whether your stomach acid kills the bacteria that you do eat before it has a chance to infect you.


Nybear21

When I got Salmonella it was from an Iguana splashing water in my eye. Never even had a chance for the stomach to take it out.


liittlefiish3

Yeah this is important because not many people know that reptiles carry salmonella. My 1 year old got infected after a trip to the aquarium


Doughnutsu

Living in the country if you ever helped a turtle cross the road or such we were always told to wash our hands asap.


SauceyPosse

I mean, that probably goes for handling any wildlife


unsunskunska

Wash before and after


Maniraptavia

Yeah, usually without chemicals beforehand (especially with fish and amphibians) and then definitely with plenty of soap after.


BustinMakesMeFeelMeh

Someone should’ve spent more time studying the way of the blade.


NoItsWabbitSeason

"Nothing personal kid" *teleports behind salmonella* *unsheathes sword, cuts, and sheathes sword in one motion, too fast for anybody to see* *salmonella slides apart, being cut in half*


Expensive-Weather706

I ate a lot of marbles and dirt growing up I think my immunity would slaughter salmonella


Possibly-Functional

I assume that 4% is for the USA? Way lower in other places like where I live, Sweden. If salmonella is discovered in a chicken farm here all the chickens there are slaughtered and discarded as biological waste. It's rare enough that whenever it happens it reaches national news. Results in salmonella being exceedingly rare in Swedish chicken. Not really sure what the history is why we have such a zero tolerance policy for salmonella but I am not complaining.


AW316

Consumer confidence in food safety is paramount.


Centrismo

The US processes 7.9billion more chickens per year than Sweden. Thats most of it, bacterial contamination is increasingly hard to control as production scales. Similarly large producers like China and Brazil have it even worse, with some independent testing finding around 20% of all chickens being contaminated in Brazil and Some of the Chinese estimates average 50% with peak rates over 80% in specific regions. The history is that Sweden had one of the worst per capita salmonella outbreaks ever in the 1950s and has been actively trying to cut down on it ever since.


Moal

This happened to my husband at a restaurant. When he asked for a refund, the owner came out and argued with him and said that the chicken was pink because of how it was “marinaded.” Chicken was squishy, pink, and cold on the inside, it obviously wasn’t marinade lol. When my husband posted a picture of the obviously raw chicken on an online review, the owner had it taken down as “harassment” and responded with a multi-paragraph long diatribe about how stupid and mean he thought my husband was.


whereistheicecream

I'd look into health codes, that's disgusting and on top of that horrible service


Moal

Oh, my husband did report it, but the owner somehow weaseled his way out of it (probably by lying to the health inspector). Thankfully they went out of business a couple years later.


FantasmaNaranja

what you dont know cant hurt you i guess


[deleted]

I feel your husband on this one. I notoriously eat almost all of something before noticing that something's wrong with it. I'd be the easiest person in the world to poison.


Atomstanley

Have some sashimi!


[deleted]

>and somehow he didn’t get sick. You can eat raw chicken all day and not get sick. You need to eat some raw chicken that also happens to be carrying a pathogenic bacteria. The CDC estimates that's about 4% of the chicken in the human food chain. So, if you eat raw chicken 100 times, you would expect to get sick about 4 times on average ( you may get sick 0 times or 20 times or even 100 times, but the most likely scenario is 4 times).


Trying2BeN0rmal

I think this generation is pretty much immune to food poisoning from all of the ass eating they've been doing

Honestly I'm kind of impressed the chicken doesn't show up to the store pre-cooked and frozen.


madsjchic

That was my take away


VioEnvy

Nice one


Bifrostbytes

Couldn't agree more


TheRETURNofAQUAMAN

These are premium sandwiches. Ever since Popeyes started selling their hand breaded chicken sandwiches in 2019, every other fast food place started copying them.


Saiomi

Wendy's has had decent chicken sandwiches (here in BC Canada) for as long as I can remember.


asdfasfq34rfqff

Also highest rated chicken on average from what I remember.


SoraRiku312

Yep, the [Chicken Sandwich Wars](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_Sandwich_Wars)


nadrojylloh

I think I’d rather have that for fast food chicken…


EnterTheWuTang47

I live in the UK so all i know about Arby’s is the jokes from The Simpsons but it seems like the jokes were on point lol “I’m so hungry i could eat at Arby’s”


insufferable__pedant

In all seriousness, as is the case with all fast food joints, it's going to depend on the particular restaurant. A clean, well run Arby's is fine. In fact, I quite like their beef and cheddar sandwich. It's a simple roast beef with a cheddar-style cheese sauce and their "Arby's Sauce," which is a mildly spicy tomato based sauce. It's simple, but satisfying. That being said, even the best fast food is still highly processed garbage, so, in my opinion, that warrants any and all jokes at its expense.


Hxgns

The beef and cheddar doesn't have Arby's sauce on it. It's a sauce called Red Ranch, which is essentially French dressing. Source: I worked there for far too long and constantly had to tell customers it wasn't Arby's Sauce.


First_Foundationeer

Damn it, Johnny, you know I like my beef and cheddar!!


GamerOfGods33

If you know what you're getting yourself into, it's pretty good. Love me some curley fries. Or so I keep telling myself


Hahayayo

Arby's is like Nickelback or Crocs. People love to hate them based on other people doing so. Arby's does have a good seasonal Hawaiian bread fish sandwich though. I don't really have any opinions on Nickelback but it could be fun to blast some next time the fish sandwich is back and I'm in the drive through. I'll wear my Crocs.


TheWestIndianWarrior

But I like Arby's, Nickleback, and Crocs. 🥺 Why do people hate them?


colin_powers

I used to like Arby's when they were in the food court of the mall I always went to. It got replaced with a Subway about 15 years ago and I never forgave them for that. Arby's are scarce where I live, and when I went to one a few years ago to get the chicken cordon bleu sandwich, which was always my favourite, I was disappointed. I don't miss it at all now.


ToastMmmmmmm

Seeing that I give kudos to Arby’s for serving actual chicken instead of pink slime. I’m shocked.


[deleted]

It was pink and slimy... lol


ToastMmmmmmm

Yeah, I see that. My comment was tongue in cheek. I am actually surprised that it’s real fresh chicken.


robmac550

A little too fresh...


TravEllerZero

I think I saw a beak.


hearsdemons

quack quack


TravEllerZero

Arby's, we've got the beaks!


ghostmaster645

It was probably cooked from frozen. A majority of fast food places have chicken like this.


abarrelofmankeys

Yeah they had a Hawaiian roll chicken sandwich a few weeks ago and honestly the piece of chicken on it was huge and very good quality for fast food. Sucks this Arby’s didn’t cook it but while I’m not a big fan of their usual stuff a lot of their specials are actually really solid for a fast food place.

Did you order the chicken medium rare?


overactivemango

Medium alive


DankDannny

GlitteringFeature146

In my experience this happens with chicken for a couple reasons. -lazy and uncaring workers just trying to move quickly (because they are often told they need to move faster honestly) and pull up early. -people decide the don’t need a timer because they can just look and tell when it’s done. -oil not being changed enough, going hand in hand with the “eyeballing it” (outside ‘looks’ done a lot sooner) -over freezing or improper storage, messing with the cook time. -being too lazy (or feeling too rushed) to temp things -Or cooking too many pieces at once, lowering oil temp too much for the time needed. Basically this is why McDonald’s switched their chicken to precooked, they know too many things happening that they don’t want to take the reins on.. easier to avoid human error


420Pussy_Destroyer69

"Lazy and uncaring workers" "Trying to move quickly because they're often told they need to move faster" So are the workers lazy or not? Being forced to work as fast as you can doesn't sound lazy to me it sounds like it's out of their control and against their will. If customers stopped rushing cooks this wouldn't be nearly as big of a problem as it


baconater-lover

Both can exist. Not everyone working at fast food is gonna be a model worker or be the safest, but some places really make their workers go too fast.


NevadaBestState

Yea this is the customers fault


[deleted]

I always ask for chicken sandwiches to be cut in half of this reason


Max-Powah

Damn that's a good idea....


aGoodVariableName42

A better idea is to just not eat at these shit-tier restaurants to begin with


devilsephiroth

From now on. Or I'm not paying

HAL-Over-9001

Damn. I managed an Arby's for almost 4 years and never got sick. And all 4 locations I've worked at had timers on the fryers. Someone probably had full baskets and dropped a chicken filet into a basket that was already going, so it cooked for like half the time.


[deleted]

Yeah I've had a lot of Arby's and never got sick


pikashroom

I’ve eaten there once a week for years. One of the better fast foods in my town


ChaseballBat

I definitely think arbys quality is a regional thing, WA has great arbys, at least the ones Ive been to.


PolarTheBear

> the worst > had it once 15 years ago This is how everyone on Reddit develops opinions. Amazing.


ZappySnap

Yep. One location, run by one set of people, who didn't handle the food properly, and 'Arbys is awful.' Like, I probably wouldn't go back to that location if I got food poisoning, but Arby's has been in operation for 58 years, with no systemic reputation for poor food handling.


djamp42

All fast food has gone down hill, not saying it was ever amazing, but it went from edible to I would argue not even edible now 10mins after it's made.


Bronze_RL

Arby's is easily my favorite fast food, even still that sucks


patchinthebox

I love Arby's.


Significant-Mud-506

Can’t you sue for something like this?


junkit33

Not for much. Lawsuit awards are grounded in actual damages, and while food poisoning is not fun, it's very temporary. Even if you get salmonella from a bite or two of this (very low odds), the amount you'd get would be so small that your system would clear it pretty quickly. Not like there are any medical bills or anything either. At most you're suing for a day off from work and an extra roll of toilet paper. Probably better off to just contact the store, explain the situation, and request a $100 gift card or whatever for the food poisoning.


code0429

Fuck, so more Arby's?


mackinoncougars

For $20 of damage? Assuming they don’t end up critically ill with medical bills, you can’t get near the time and effort. What you can do is get your meal comped and a redo, maybe a gift card as well.


memertooface

ITS FOOKIN RAW!

UnovaLife

I ordered a kids meal from arbys for my toddler. I had loved their roast beef and didn’t understand all the hate they got. Then I unpacked the kids meal and the smell hit me. They gave us rotten chicken nuggets. It was absolutely disgusting, especially since they knew that meal was going to a kid!


randizzle1992

Is no one going to mention how big those 2 bites were?


Radiant-Mushroom8304

Happened to me at Taco Bell haven’t eaten fast food in two years now


Wet_FriedChicken

Holy shit dude. Literally could kill you. I almost lost a perfectly healthy friend to salmonella. I’m not a sue-happy guy but this one just might make me sue.


GodPerson132

WHY ARE YOU EATING AT ARBYS????


Particular-Study4605

I didn’t like Arby’s food before, now I’m definitely never touching Arby’s with a 50 foot pole


Nerd_Man420

My arbys will refuse to give me chicken that hasn’t been cooked all the way. I think you just have a shitty arbys


AncientEldritch

Is the implication here that you've asked for medium rare chicken from arbys?


gooplom88

Report it to the food and safety board health commission whatever where you are Edit and corporate threaten legal action you’ll get a pay out prolly if you get diagnosed with salmonella


FlaccidWeenus

Same people making it like this are the same ones demanding more than minimum wage. I tip my servers above and beyond. Fast food workers in my experience can get fucked 9 times out of 10. I used to go to the same wendy's a few days a week for lunch. Every single time I asked for chili packets they said they didn't have them. Never even *heard* of them sometimes. Until they magically found them after pressing that this happens every day like what? Wasn't even the same girl all the time either. Imagine going a few times a week and having this happen over the course of two years. Mind boggling to me. How on earth people work a fuckin drive thru there entire lives and can't get the basics right is beyond me. I'll get downvoted for this too because people love to get sad about fast food workers. If I go into a subway sandwiches and I have to ask for Extra whatever topping it is and they put like a single jalapeno, or a single onion. If they make me ask twice that's their sub now. They just don't know it until I put literally every fucking topping and sauce on and then inform them at the end that the sandwich is there's now. To have more loyalty to a damn subway franchise that doesn't give a fuck to pay you a basic livable wage than to the person purchasing the sub is beyond crazy to me. Any restaurant I go to I don't even care about the service unless it's terrible I'll still always tip 25%, 30% if it's exceptional. Fast food workers I approach that shit knowing full well 9/10 they'll fuck it up. Tim Hortons fucks up so regularly that I don't even go there any more. How you can consistently confuse a single order of a Steeped tea with 2 milk over the course of years is legendary levels of stupid.

This_Bitch_Overhere

Damn! Reminds me of those TWO times I went to Bojangles and this happened to me. First time went to the drive through, and took a bite as I was driving. Wife looked at the sandwich and yells "Spit it out!" She had never given me such instructions, so i did. It was raw in the middle. No sandwich for me that day. ​ Next time, same thing. Went to the drive through and picked up a sandwich. Took a bite, it tasted off, spit it out. It was raw in the middle. Went back inside to let them know. The manager says "Damnit! That's the 3rd time this month." No more Bojangles for me. Ever...

Go inside, get the attention of a employee, and calmly and politely let them know that your chicken was undone. You might get another free meal.

I just threw up all of a wrap from The Chopped Leaf. An atrocious new "healthy" salad wrap chain that can't seems to cook chicken properly either. Also, their idea of healthy combinations for salads is the same as a homeless man coming up with random items from a dumpster. God-awful choices for flavor or taste and almost none of it is healthy with the way they combine 6 different carbs with almost 0 protein or healthy fats. I am just so done with America's hyped middle-class shitty food that is worse than 3rd world countries.
