    Similar to recent Oregon story where school children had their pretzels coated with oven cleaner instead of salt.

      That’s what immediately came to my mind.
      I’ve cleaned my own oven and worked in various kitchens, what the hell kind of oven cleaner they using now? And why the fuck is this shit in unlabled bags!?

      “On the morning of Oct. 26, according to the Health District statement, “a restaurant employee received a granulated degreasing chemical from a contracted worker who was power washing the exterior, and placed it into an unlabeled container.”” …wtf.

        In most countries there are very strict regulations around storing chemicals in labeled and approved containers. I would be surprised if the US doesnt have similar laws, but training and enforcement of such things definitely seems to be a lower priority over there.
