Comment on Break the conditioning, maximize your horsepower.
janus2@lemmy.zip 2 weeks agoI used to work in a baked goods factory where scrapped product and ingredients got sold to a pig feed supplier
They constantly told the workers not to put any product that had touched the floor into the pig feed bins (the floor, aside from being the fucking gross floor, often had metal shavings, machine oil, etc. on it) but everyone ignored that rule and management barely tried to enforce it
Another reason to feel bad for factory farmed animals. Those pigs probably have lacerations throughout their digestive system. :(

I worked for general Mills factory for maybe 4 or 5 months back around 2005 ish.
Yeah cereal and granola that got spilled or messed up went into bins labeled animal food.
The place was kept pretty clean. But it’s still a factory floor where we wore boots.
I remember more than once shoveling nasty food disasters off the floor with dirt mixed in. Told to put in those bins.
We cleaned those floors with harsh chemicals too when we did clean them. Surely residue from those contaminated the food.
I asked if it was dog food and was told it was for pigs.
Probably made up.
Who knows what it was used for.
