- chrisseaton 5y agoYikes is that people interfering with food again to support the aims of the union? Nasty tactics.
- WaxProlix 5y agoAre you assuming malice where sheer incompetence could be at play?
- chrisseaton 5y agoDoesn't seem to be without precedent? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/14/kelloggs-video-urinating-cereal-rice-krispie-fda-criminal-investigation https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/14/kelloggs-video... I don't think it's ever even remotely acceptable to do this over a workplace dispute. What about you?
- lotsofpulp 5y agoAlso assuming a couple images in tweets form a set of representative and trustworthy data.
- WaxProlix 5y agoA very good point, too.
- msbarnett 5y agoI'm pretty sure it's just inexperienced workers with zero training or experienced supervision making obvious, predictable mistakes in food preparation (over-baking, failing to evenly apply icing to pop-tarts, etc). Your reading seems like a very big stretch given how pedestrian most of these mistakes are.
- chrisseaton 5y ago> making obvious predictable mistakes in food preparation Obvious mistake of not putting plastic or insect larva in the food?
- Retric 5y agoYes to both, bulk food has got a lot of insects and foreign matter when it comes into a factory.

- msbarnett 5y agoYou don't have to work to put insect larvae in food, especially grains. It's separating out larvae that's the usual challenge. Seems like exactly the kind of QA challenge you'd have with a completely green workforce. I'd assume these production lines involve contact with any number of plastic parts that could break or shave off if operated incorrectly. Same with the glue from packaging hitting the food if you don't do it right.

- cochne 5y agoI think the implication is that it is not intentional, but a result of the poor quality of work that the inexperienced substitute work force has.
