Odd that he would force them to do it, unless of course he was trying to make a point... I am wondering if some of these kids had contaminated the mix prior and he was trying to show them what happens.
UNDERSTAND, EVEN IF THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED I DON’T CONDONE IT... but I am hard pressed to understand why someone would intentionally do this... this is about the only reason I can come up with.
The owner of the place where I spent my 3 months in the food service industry would have done something like that. It incentivized me to study hard and get a job doing anything else.
My first thought. But he should not have required them to eat the contaminated ice cream.
It should be a standing order that food service and food packaging staff have to eat the food or else quit.
Years ago, I had a friend who received a box of chocolates and complained of the taste. It smelled like automotive parts cleaner which I was very familiar with having worked with it quite a bit. It was mixed right into the chocolate.
The company, a well-known brand, had clearly cut corners after repairing or maintaining a piece of machinery as they were approaching St. Valentine's Day.
I ended up calling their customer support line, gave them the lot number, and even gave them the brand of parts cleaner that had been used on the components installed on their machine.
