The co-owner of a Carl’s Jr. franchise was temporarily banned from his own kitchen after he was caught on camera committing grave food safety violations—including sticking his bare hands in ingredients.
Jack Webb, the co-franchisee of a Carl’s Jr. in Alberta, Canada, was reported to health authorities after he made several food safety violations caught by security cameras, according to the Canadian Boardcasting Corporation.
In one clip obtained by CBC, Webb can be seen with his hand and entire arm inside a pales of barbecue sauce, mixing it with his bare hands—a violation of Canada’s food safety regulations. A worker offers him a spoon and he refuses.
Other clips show him using his bare hands to mix sauces before moving them from one container to another using his fingers. It shows him using a dirty spatula that he grabbed from a dish pile that he only wipes with a towel before using.
In another instance, he’s seen picking of a piece of chicken up off the floor before putting it in a warming tray among other tenders.
He can also be seen transferring raw chicken from batter to a fryer without washing his hands and getting the fryer handle covered in batter and raw chicken juice, the CBC noted.
