Images of KFC staff “washing chickens” on a dirty floor in Braamfontein, Johannesburg continues to spread on social media.
A Facebook user posted images of what appears to be KFC staff in Braamfontein allegedly taking chicken out of containers, placing it on a concrete floor and hosing it down, City Buzz reported.
Facebook user Mfumo Bamuza said: “KFC Braamfontein comrades!!! This is how they wash your meat. On the ground!!!!! Photocred goes to a south point (Clifton Heights) resident.#KnowWhatYouEat.”
The manager at the branch refused to comment on the matter. The Gauteng department of health has indicated it was unaware of the issue and would investigate further.
KFC South Africa tweeted: “We’re aware of the incident in Braamfontein & take the preparation of our food seriously. We’re currently investigating this further.”
KFC Africa MD Doug Smart said on Power FM this morning: “We’ve confirmed that the product (pictured) was never going to be served”.
Smart added protocol had “very much been breached”, and that the chicken was never going to be sold to the public.
