In a viral clip with over 406,000 views, TikToker keep_it_real4life showed stacks of bags of beef in a walk-in fridge Each bag was marked with an expiration or \u201cuse-by\u201d date. \u201cToday is March 15,\u201d he said. \u201cOur area coach came in last night and told us we have to use beef that expired on Feb. 27 of this year and March 10 of this year.\u201d The Taco Bell worker also claimed that employees have to serve onions past their use-by date, as \u201cthey don\u2019t want to throw it out because of food costs.\u201d \u201cWhat about customer safety? This stuff can get people really sick!\u201d he exclaimed. \u201cWe\u2019re serving expired product because we\u2019re forced to do it. Something\u2019s gotta change. This is going to get people sick. Like, really sick.\u201d TikTok users in the comments applauded the employee for speaking out. \u201cThank you for sharing this!\u201d one wrote. \u201cWhen in doubt throw it out! Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Be safe,\u201d another added. Others urged him to contact his local health department about the issue. \u201cContact the health department immediately. Invite them to inspect right away,\u201d one commented. \u201cJust throw it out, and walk out! Call corporate, call the health department! Stand up for what\u2019s right!\u201d another said. In a comment, the Taco Bell employee said it\u2019s difficult for workers who need a job like this to speak out against it. \u201cWhen your job is at stake most employees will do what they are told,\u201d he wrote. However, the TikToker claimed he still refused to sell the expired food to customers. In September 2021, a post went viral on Reddit from another Taco Bell employee, claiming that they were fired after refusing to serve expired food.
