Wow. That's bad in so many levels. One thing is to avoid other people to get the food but that method also pollutes a lot of water.

- rootusrootus 4y agoMy advice here is to be skeptical of outlandish claims on the Internet.
- troupe 4y agoI think the health department in several places has put bleach on food that people were trying to distribute to the homeless. The logic was that the food wasn't prepared to commercial standards. https://nypost.com/2018/11/12/health-department-poured-bleach-on-food-meant-for-the-homeless/ https://nypost.com/2018/11/12/health-department-poured-bleac...
- rootusrootus 4y agoThanks for the link. That article is a bit one-sided and from a questionable news source, so I looked for a bit more nuance and found some here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/11/13/kansas-city-health-officials-pour-bleach-food-made-homeless-warning-volunteers-stop/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/11/13/kansas-city... At least it's not motor oil. They seemed to have a kinda-sorta-plausible excuse for the bleach, but it sounds like they've made an internal decision that it was an overreaction and they stopped doing it. But I kinda see their point, too -- random people making food and handing it out sounds noble, but it probably should have some oversight too. Arguably that would have been the better response from the health department. I don't think the charity in this case did a particularly good job themselves of handling the situation. Hopefully everyone learned something and five years later it's no longer a problem.
