A screen grab from the viral video
In a shocking incident, a Zomato food delivery executive was caught on camera taking bites from what seems to be like a customer’s food parcel. In the video footage, the delivery executive is seen opening the food delivery package and quickly grabbing some bites from it before repackaging it and putting it back in the bag for delivery. The viral video took one and all by surprise and led to strong reactions on social media platforms.
After the online furore, Zomato released a detailed blog post to communicate with its customers worldwide about the incident. The post stated that the company took 'food tampering' very seriously and the delivery person involved in the incident had been suspended with immediate effect.
