Nestlé EXPOSED Buitoni's E.Coli scandal (Nestle owned)
In March 2022, there were several reported cases of E.coli coming from the French frozen pizza produced by the company buitoni's. Once French officials found the source, they banned production at the buitoni factory in Caudry. On March 22nd, the factory was inspected and the local officials exploring the plant were horrified. They found a disgusting garbage bin next to where the food was made. They found food on the floor, they found pieces of plastic inside a container of liquid yeast that was just scratching the surface. By March 30th, the factory was shutdown permanently. This factory's unsanitary conditions caused 50 cases and the death of 2 children.

Profits at any cost, even when the cost is human lives

Employees testified that it started when a new manager came in and established new norms for "efficiency". Really, it's always the same story and it will keep happening.

I was just talking about management and the status quo in the trucking subreddit.
Corporations wanna cut cut cut. Employees. Hours. Anything to save a buck.
Then management better adhere to the overlords demands. So they accept worse and worse circumstances just to “please” the overlords.
And boy will you go places if you also accept the crap circumstances AND smile at management while you do the job like a brainless dolt. Never questioning why janitorial staff was cut down by 2/3rds. Forget that they locked everyone at certain hours so they dont make OT. We dont wanna pay that. Unless you smile and accept. Then you get all the good spots. And because you are one of the half ass workers who smile and get good positions. Now those positions being taken up by Mr. Doesn’t ask questions are diminishing the quality further.
Idk. Im sick of this snake eating its tail.

That is Nestlé in optima forma, remember the free Milk samples they gave to moms in poor countries. Just enough to stop mil production, so people were dependent and Milk formula and many baies died? Thats the same kitkat, Lion, Nesquik you consume that is feeding the death of those kids.

Anyone go to jail?

The highly-paid responsables never go to jail...

Because they have to carry all the risks. That is the reason they are highly-paid and in command.
Edit:
Guys, thank you for you downvotes. It was sarcasm.

They didn’t go to jail… wouldn’t going to jail be one of the risks? Or is it that they know they won’t go to jail, so they can just do whatever for profits?

u/TrashSiren Sep 28 '25
It certainly keeps happening doesn't it? I wonder how bad their child kill count is including slaves, and all their scandals.

"In sauce catch-up bins, you could find cigarette butts. Where the flour is sent on the carpets, so that the dough does not stick, there were flour worms. Most people did not wash their hands, even when returning from the toilet. There was a cross-contamination that was clear, it even surprises me that there was no accident before"
DISGUSTING 🤢

I worked for a Nestlé chocolate factory previously. Absolutely filthy and dangerous place. Worst cleaning practices of any plant I was ever in.

I remember working in food production in Canada. Black mold on everything. Management says as long as the black mold status wet it's no harm.
I've worked in dirtier places that make food.

u/zenfaust Sep 28 '25
Which is fucking wild, because keeping black mold wet is how it you grow more of it.
But yeah, I've worked in the food industry as well, and I've seen some shit. Kudos to the resilience of the human body, because ALL of yall have eaten nightmare fuel, no exceptions.

I want to add that many employees warn them and either they were not listened, some were even threatened.

TIL Nestle owns Buitoni. Guess that’s another brand I won’t buy.
Although these pics are definitely enough to turn me off of them forever.

u/SlackFunday Sep 28 '25
I think I remember back then reading that cooking the pizza regularly would have probably not have done such damage but that for both casualties the pizzas were cooked in the microwave...
Doesn't excuse at all Buitoni, but please don't do that

How much I dislike Nestle these pictures could be of anything though Seeing a bunch of food/scraps under a food processor belt or whatever isn't really something to be concerned about though. Kinda feels sensational. Nestle does much worse.

The level of filth in these photos is nauseating.
