Burger King Employees Charged

SCOTTSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - Three teen-age Burger King employees were
charged with putting urine, spit and caustic products like Easy-Off
oven cleaner in the food for eight months.

No injuries or illnesses were reported, the Monroe County Health
Department said.

The restaurant is at a service area along the New York State Thruway.
 
``To do it for such a long period of time - it's simply bizarre,''
Kristine Smith, a state Health Department spokeswoman.

Scott B. Savino, 19, an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl were
arrested this week and charged with tampering with a consumer product.
The two younger defendants were not identified because of their ages.

The three were accused of using such cleaning products as Easy-Off,
Kote Soil Shield and Comet with bleach.

They can cause burning or irritation in the mouth and even severe
burning of the stomach or esophagus.

Well a while back a sarcastic Channel 4 continuity announcer did 
introduce a Beavis and Butthead episode with the words "and now for a 
documentary programme about modern American youth". Seems she was 
right <g>

How could they proved they were doing it for 8 months ?
If there was someone responsible enuf to testify they were doing it,
shouldn't they have told someone ?

Maybe they confessed. After having been tortured.

Bit hard if you're doing it yourself.

Quite frankly, this kind of behaviour goes on in a lot of food processing
environments.  It normally goes undetected.  There's a saying that goes
along the lines of, 'If you saw the kitchen you'd never eat here', regarding
restaurants.

Years ago, I worked in the catering/restaurant industry.  It's a pretty good
rule of thumb that if you want to know the condition the kitchen is kept in,
check the bathrooms, they'll be in about the same condition.

There was a nasty food poisoning episode in the House of Lords with
mayonnaise.  They just used to top up the sauce boat from time to time, in
what the peer who told me about this was a sort of solera system.  Surprise
surprise the goo at the bottom got a bit iffy and...

Almost as bad as BA poisoning the Saudi Foreign Minister (and Royal family
member) with dodgy prawn mayonnaise.  He was so ill that he had to have
surgery.  If the guy responsible from BA ever visits Riyhad so will he!

A lot of my work is in the Food Industry ( Large scale) And im happy to report ,
that in the past few years 90% of my customers are doing the right thing. I used
to see Butchers coating old meat in preservatives to get rid of that "off "
smell then mince it all up. other food manufactures would throw in old fruit
with new fruit when making certain products ect

I could go on and on , but don't want to put people of there food, lets just say
that if this does happen now , its a very very rare occurrence , especially with
larger companies that hold a quality assurance ticket ( ASO) Ive known a few
companies that were denied a ticket ( food Industry) for having cigarette buts
on the floor outside! ( no way near preparation area )

I swear, I could not eat from a place where teams of juveniles
prepare the food.  It's not worth the risk :)
