Complainant believes that she became sick from the Thousand Island salad dressing due to the fact that her spouse did not get sick after eating the same meal. Upon inspection, Reuben meat had proper internal temperature of 41 F. Thousand salad dressing comes from bulk bottle and also had proper internal temperature of 35 F.
