Pretty fishy.

If it is a 7" knife baked into the bread of a 12" sub, wouldn't they notice there is something in there when they cut the sub in half like all Subways do?

If the knife fell into the baking pan and then the dough was poured on top, I can see how this might be "plausible". But it is a little unbelievable that no one would have noticed a large night stuck to the bottom of the bun while the sandwich was being made.

Especially with it apparently being on edge.

Food poisoning also sounds extremely unlikely. Bakeries are very clean places to start with, and knives just aren't the kind of objects that are likely to collect anything on it that's harmful in that sense.

Oh the poisoning part is total BS designed to curry favor from whoever is judging the case.

That said, I don't think we can call Subway a "bakery". It's a fast food joint and nearly all of them are riding the edge of food safety.

Wouldn't it be pretty easy to prove, since I would assume you immediatly walk up to the counter and show them the subway knife inside the bread!

Or did he take the sub home to eat

Subway bread isn't made that way. The bread comes in pre-formed frozen "logs" that are placed into the bread pan, left to rise and then placed in the oven.

There is virtually no way that I can think of that this would actually happen.

The only chance that he should have is to show the bread with the indent of the knife in it, that way you can tell it was baked into it and not just carved in it.
I think this is stupid cause they cut it into two 6" halfs so you would have to cut through it or really notice that it is there.

Subway isn't a bakery, but the place they get their bread from propably is. (A big industrial-sized bakery, but still.)
