http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,296155,00.html McDonald's Worker Arrested for Serving Cop Salty Hamburger Saturday , September 08, 2007 A McDonald's worker in Union City, Ga., was arrested and jailed Thursday night for putting too much salt and pepper on a police officer's hamburger, MyFoxAtlanta reported Friday. Kendra Bull was mixing hamburger meat when, she said, too much salt and pepper accidentally spilled into the bowl. Bull said her manager was working with her, and continued to make patties out of the meat. Bull grilled and ate one of the over-seasoned burgers for her dinner break and grilled the remaining burgers from the batch. A police officer purchased one of the salty burgers and became sick. According to MyFoxAtlanta, the police accused Bull of purposely pouring the salt and pepper on the burger and charged her with reckless conduct. The police photographed the burger, took the sick cop to the hospital, and carted Bull off to jail. Bull, who spent Thursday night in jail until she was released on a $1,000 signature bond Friday morning, admitted the burgers were too salty, but said she ate one from the batch and did not get sick. She also said that security cameras trained on the work area and grill will prove that the salt was spilled accidentally. Bull's attorney, a public defender, asked the judge to dismiss the charges, but the judge refused. |

Is it me or do people not understand that food sanitation is not to be taken lightly. She is lucky she is not facing more serious charges. Those who prepare/serve food, no matter if it's at a fast food resturant or a 5 star resturant should be well aware of and practice "good sanitaion". If they fail, they should be charged CRIMINALLY. I mean people can get very sick and/or die if they aren't careful. This is why I don't go out to eat much. Most fast food resturants hire teenagers, still in high school, the same teenagers you STILL have to remind to wash there hands after going to the bathroom. |

I can't count the times I've gone to a fast food, bar and grill or restaurant and had to use the bathroom before I left. I don't eat out like I use to.......it's just something about the way the food is cooked that leaves me with an unset stomach. Eat the same foods at home and everything is fine. |

Certainly most food preparation workers in this country are made aware of how important santitation/hygiene is and I would hope that the standards would be just as high in the US. I don't, however, think that the above case has anything to do with sanitation, as such. |

Absolutely right! It would be a case of sanitation if that salt would be a container of scouring powder instead. I think this is a total waste of taxpayer money and a ludicrous charge. If that meat had been left out instead of cooked and refrigerated, that would be totally different but this is a case of salt not salmonella. |

You make a good point Dan. My first reaction was, "He expected quality from McDonald's?" but that's just the law of diminished expectations kicking in. It might be foolish to expect quality from fast food, but certainly not unreasonable. Having said that, I think the charge is over the top. I can't help but wonder if a civillian reported an over-seasoned burger to the police, would they press charges or send them away for wasting police time? What suprised me the most is that the patties are prepared on site. I would have thought they were just delivered frozen from some central depot. Shows how much I know. |

You're right. And I also agree with the other boardie who said that it's a waste of public money. How can the government justify child poverty when it allows such wanton waste as this? :hmm: |

Of course it does. If the chef had let a couple of pickles fall into the patty mix, and served it, would that have been a case of bad sanitation? The answer is no, because it would have been perfectly edible. The difference between salt & rat poison is that salt is an ingredient in the product whereas rat poison... er - hang on, this is McDonalds we're talking about... maybe I won't go there. Simply put, if the chef didn't believe that the patty mix was poisonous (they ate it), then it was a case of too much of one ingredient, rather than a case of poor sanitation, which is related to hygiene - that would have meant that the food was contaminated by some foreign object or bacteria, not one of it's ingredients. |

Yes, salt can cause death. if a child got hold of that. the child would had died. also, there are elderly people who can't eat salt to much. So, I guess if you look at it. It would be dangerous. but, still most time if it was civilian cops wouldn't react. and That is my point. but, i would think that one bit the cop would tasted the salt right off to get way to much to go to the hospital. |

Maybe they should have gotten the health inspectors called for what have happened. I think the restaurant should worker should get punished for what she did, but I don't think she should have been arrested. She should have been suspended or fired. |

Exactly! because, people don't know the danger of to much salt. I don't think it was purposely done. I think they didn't realize the health factor. If they did they won't have serve it. also, in some those restaurants they can get in trouble for waste food. I not that is the case. but, you never know. |

The man got sick because of the manner in which the food that was prepared. Seriously Andy, think about it, if I (accedently) spilled bleach/salt/rat poison, in the food and then served it to you and you got sick, according to you, that would not have to do with food sanitation. That doesn't make sense.
