A Golden Corral dumpster food video shows some meat stashed outside an alleyway that was filmed during an inspection. However, the company responded when the video went viral, saying that the employee took part and the food was never served.

“All were destroyed within the hour at the direction of management. Brandon Huber, the employee who made the video, participated in the disposal of the food,” the company told ClickOrlando.com. “The following day, the father of the employee posted an offer to sell the video for $5,000, which was not accepted. The manager involved in the improper storage was terminated for failing to follow approved food-handling procedures.”

The company added that “none of these items were served to a single customer,” referring to the trays of meat positioned near a dumpster.

The manager who oversaw the procedure was fired, the company told the Consumerist.

“All were destroyed within the hour at the direction of management… The manager involved in the improper storage was terminated for failing to follow approved food handling procedure,” it said.

Brandon Huber, who works at the Port Orange, Fla., location, said in the video that “apparently, what my company likes to do to get ready for inspections is put their food by the dumpsters.”

“I’m an employee, I’ve been working here for a long time, and I don’t think this is right,” he continued, adding that “as an employee here, I would not eat this stuff.”

On Monday, the video, titled “all you can eat ribs,” had got more than 400,000 views on YouTube.
