Lacks context... what if this cat had an unresolved F rating and was spreading tummy upset?

I’m thinking multiple violations and flouting laws. But does seem extreme. Not sure what policy states for that dept.

That stuff should be marked with red dye if it is inedible

Isn't technically she is poisoning the food?

It's for our own protection.

That is dumb and definitely not part of any standard protocol. What if she walks away from that and some of her poisoned food gets mixed or confused with food that is meant for consumption? I have seen inspectors supervise the destruction of food into dumpsters but NEVER like that.

Who the hell knows. This vendor could have had 100 reports of food poisoning this week already and every time an inspector comes out to shut it down, they close shop, move a mile away and get a new group of people sick.

Not sure why you pour bleach though. There has to be a statutory process you are supposed to take that doesn't involved dumping harsh chemicals on food.

Or they might just be some psycho inspector.

Fiesta coloring... at least that's how I'd market it after the inspector left.

Was this vendor disgusting or just ran afoul of some Karen

I hate big government but we dont know the entire story.

It looks like it was just food sitting on a table. With Here to Serve we have SERV safe certificates, Those require us to maintain food temps at specific ranges. We are very cognizant of that. We certainly dont want to show up after a hurricane and start serving food to people who are dealing with the aftermath, and have our food make them sick.

Hot foods have to stay hot and cold foods have to stay cold.

If that vendor was not doing that the food should have been discarded. It was dramatic to pour the bleach on it, and in my opinion even worse than just throwing it out. What if someone ate the food after the inspector left. That was the wrong thing to do. She should have just confiscated it, bagged it and discarded it in a dumpster.

That was the requirement at the plant where I worked. Inedible product placed in a designated spot, and marked with red dye. That inspector did not correct whatever the problem was, and possibly made it worse.

I get being pissed at that, but no one is feeding their family with just guac, pickled onions and limes….

That’s condiments…. It’s a bit of a stretch….

Makes sense.

This was seemingly an open air vendor with zero context. That could have been the 8th time they tried to shut him down... or it could have been a pissy government douche.

Bleach is pungent... plus, maybe they stayed to watch them dump it, too.

Who knows? Short video, no context.

Has anyone ever seen a slim and trim food inspector?

He's probably deceased by now, but in Houston a co worker was visited by a morbidly obese high school friend who had become a food inspector specializing (Houston is THAT big) in ice cream shops. When the friend left, my co worker came to my office laughing that the dude used to be skinny.
