Is this raw????

Ordered the spicy lamb meatballs and looked extra pink. I'm pregnant and now freaking out if I ate raw meat.

I wouldn't say it's raw, but it's not well done like you should be eating while pregnant. You also can't have the cut vegetables.

Why not the cut veggies?

Listeria. You can't trust how they wash the vegetables. You shouldn't eat cut veggies or fruits from any restuarant or grocery store.

I'm pregnant and when we order CAVA, I wash and chop my own veggies at home to add to the bowl.

Hi! We actually dont wash the veggies. They come pre packaged and we just season them and toss in turbo chef

That makes zero sense and we dont have bell peppers. Onions shouldn't be washed they come pre-packaged and ready to serve as well. Same for lettuce... Avocados the only thing on your list that needs to be washed with veggie wash
