Golden Corral Location in Florida Stored Meat by Dumpster, Employees Fired (VIDEO)
Golden Corral buffet restaurant is being accused of unsanitary food handling practices after an employee uploaded a video of trays of raw meat being stored near a dumpster.
Golden Corral employee Brandon Huber made the video and uploaded it to Reddit. He titled the Reddit post "All you can eat Ribs, Courteously of Golden Corral." Huber worked and shot the video at a Port Orange, Fla. Golden Corral.
As he shot the video, Huber narrated, explaining that the raw meat is being stored near the dumpsters so it will be out of the way during a health inspection.
"Right now we're currently undergoing an inspection right now I'm walking around the building," he begins. "I just left the front door. I'm walking up to the Dumpster. Apparently what my company likes to do to get ready for inspections is put their food by the Dumpsters. So, I'm outside, here's the Dumpster area, I'm walking into it right now, and this is what my company likes to do with their food for inspection."
In response to the video and the outrage it sparked online, Eric Holm, a Golden Corral franchise owner, released a statement.
"A video was recently posted showing an incident of improper food handling at our Port Orange, Florida location. None of these items were served to a single customer. All were destroyed within the hour at the direction of management."
Eric Holm also added that quick action was taken, and those responsible for mistreatment of food were let go.
"The manager involved in the improper storage was terminated for failing to follow approved food handling procedures," Holms said.
