The brown liquid a man sprayed onto to some of the produce in a Charleston grocery store has been determined to be feces.
Pau S. Hang, 41, is accused of spraying a brown liquid from a spray bottle on produce at a Charleston Harris Teeter on Oct. 15. The brown liquid has tested positive for components of fecal matter, according to the Charleston Police Department.
Hang was originally charged with damage to personal property. An additional charge of tampering with human drug product or food item has been filed against Hang, according to public information officer Charles Francis.
Hang was on trespass notice for the Harris Teeter, according to Francis, and has been called a disgruntled, former contractor.
Isn’t that the little dude from the Ocean’s 11 movies?
Third world food workers (and home grown members of the vindictive class) are why I have no desire to eat out.
Of course I never know what’s in a bag of spinach, or on the produce displays. And then there are the “products of China” that masquerade as real food.
Risk assessment is getting more tedious by the minute.
Talk about “chimping out”!!!
Another solid contributor from another land?
Is there something in the water in your state?
Pau Hang?
Yet another wonderful immigrant?
I have heard they haul trash to a dump and then pick up a load of fruits and vegetables to haul back, unload and pick up more trash to the dump.
My mom always washed the tops of cans before opening them.
She said she was in the store once and saw some guy sneezing all over everything, simply not having the courtesy to cover his mouth.
Not to mention the dirt from manufature, insects and vermin that might crawl across the tops of the cans, people, and kids, who touch everything and then put it back, and who knows if they washed their hands after using the john.
I wash my veggies with a couple drops of Dawn. I figure it’s OK to use on the dishes we eat off of, so if I rinse the food well, it will be fine for washing the produce.
Absolutely.
God knows what diseases he’s spreading around.
And something like that is clearly intentional. anyone who does that KNOWS what they are doing. Feces doesn’t just fall into a spray bottle and jump into your hand to attack people.
This was a terrorist act and should be dealt with accordingly.
Ahh, a feces only a mother could love.
Make him drink it...after spraying it up his nose.
We soak them in a 5 or 10% solution of hydrogen peroxide. (Diluted from 50%)
The soap, along with a scrubber to get into the nooks and crannies, should be sufficient to remove surface bacteria.
Washing the surface will not remove bacteria that have penetrated into the fruit. I always throw fruit away if it has a break in the skin.
I believe that it is common practice to wash produce with bleach when it is picked. So it comes from the farm clean, but all kinds of stuff can happen between the farm and the store. Plus, in the store, people like to feel produce before they buy it—and they could have anything on their hands.
Thanks. Good post. Good information.
Black folk have a right to spit in your food.. They have been doing it for 250 years and you can't stop'um.... That would be racism...
You’re welcome.
Vinegar is a good choice for washing fruits and vegetables. Or lemon juice, but the cost of that is prohibitive. I would not use peroxide, as someone posted here. It can be carcinogenic to mucus membranes at higher concentrations. (It is considered safe to occasionally use hydrogen peroxide, 5%, further diluted by HALF, as mouth rinse or wound cleanser.) I don’t think bleach is used commercially, to wash fruits and vegetables, but I may be wrong. I asked the owners of our state’s largest peach orchard, if they wash their fruit, and they said they did not. So I wash their fruit in vinegar before canning it, even though processing should kill all germs. I’m less concerned with contamination from birds, etc., than I am from people. As a nurse, I can tell you that most people do not wash their hands properly, and even if they do, they then turn off the faucet, with whatever was on their and everyone else’s hands in the first place, still on the faucet, now back on their “clean” hands. And I always wipe down the handles of the shopping cart, as well as the seat, when I shop. And knowing that most grocery stockers are guys, and who knows where THEIR unwashed hands have been, just about anything in the store should be wiped down or at least rinsed. I am VERY conscientious about washing my hands, and after being around sick people over a quarter of a century, I have never gotten the flu, and I never get a flu shot. And I rarely get a cold.
“We soak them in a 5 or 10% solution of hydrogen peroxide. (Diluted from 50%) “
Where do you buy 50% Peroxide? That’s almost weapon grade.
