Panda Express guest stunned as employee stands on…
A video has emerged purportedly exhibiting a Panda Express employee stepping around food while cleansing a frying station, as meals have been being ready.
Paul Elisha Finger, who captured the footage, told Storyful that he “noticed the gentleman jump on the fryer that the lady had just put food into” when he visited a Panda Express location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in early July.
The employee then “started spraying the chemical and wiping [while] standing right over the food,” according to Finger.
“I could not believe my eyes,” Finger told Storyful.
A Panda Express spokesperson told FOX Business on Tuesday that “We acted immediately when the video was first brought to our attention.”
“The behavior shown does not meet our food safety or workplace safety standards. We took corrective action, conducted retraining, and reinforced safety procedures with the restaurant team and in the region. The safety of our guests and associates remains our top priority,” the spokesperson added.
The video reveals a feminine employee reaching through the cleaner’s legs to drop a bowl of food into one of the fry baskets, as the male employee apparently was cleansing the exhaust hood space of the fry station.
