They'll stonewall you. See a lawyer, or if the claim is worth $7500 or less, sue in Small Claims Court.

Any foreign substance in food is actionable, but the issue is whether it is worth it.

Lawyers cant make a living and pay the rent with such small matters. If you speak to the manager he will apologize and refund the value of the sandwich or give you a free meal. Then get on with your life. The value of your claim is the value of the sandwich and the cost of your doctor bill which you don't have.

They won't do anything about it without a lawyer. Does your husband have the evidence? There will also be a question as to how severe and long-lasting the injury is.

Getting a lawyer is up to you. First, though, I would get checked out by a Dr. to make sure there's nothing permanent and there won't be any future care. If the Dr. clears him, you can then discuss settlement with the company or talk to a lawyer. If the Dr. does not clear him, I would probably consult a lawyer. Good luck.
