Photos of Raw Meat in Shopping Carts at San Jose's 99 Ranch Market Go Viral
A local San Jose grocery store is under investigation after a customer witnessed raw meat being transported in Costco shopping carts.
Loretta Seto happened to be on a routine shopping trip at 99 Ranch Market hoping to pick up a few things for a weekend BBQ when she spotted two men delivering raw meat in
Costco shopping carts at the front entrance. She says her initial reaction was to take photos of the incident which she later posted to Facebook as a warning to other shoppers.
“Talk about disgusting! I’m usually okay with sticking the kids in the seat of the basket, but this is a whole new level of gross. Beware,” Seto said in her Facebook post.
Since Seto posted the photos to Facebook, the post has received over 490 shares and 148 comments from several users calling out the grocery store for their unsanitary methods.
“No doubt a health code violation,” said Facebook user, David Seminatore. “You could get really sick, especially a young child.”
In an interview with NBC Bay Area, 99 Ranch said they just learned about the incident on Friday and have dumped all the meat from the vendor, Jim's Farm Meat.
The grocery store even responded directly on Seto’s Facebook post and apologized, stating “we are taking the necessary steps to resolve this issue by investigating this case further and filing a complaint against our vendor.”
