The Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kan., will no longer be selling blue sno-cones after a dangerous mix-up at the refreshment stand, Fox4KC reported.
Four people became sick Thursday when a zoo employee accidentally poured a degreasing agent into the sno-cone machine instead of the flavored syrup.

So instead of keeping degreasing agents away from food areas, or expecting the employees to read the labels, they stop selling the snow cones.

The label probably was in English, I’d guess.

Remind me to not order the snow cones at the zoo.
To: DBrow
That’d be my guess. That explains it.

Something similar occurred a few years ago where a nuclear med tech or similar profession accidentally put a cleaning solution into IV line, instead of the contrast dye. The patient went into a coma and died. The only reason I didn’t have a meltdown when I read that was because the woman was quite old, although it was a tragedy all the same.

It’s a good point you’re making. I remember reading awhile ago where a woman had hired a Mexican lady to clean, cook and so on and she instructed the woman to make a tuna salad for a ladies luncheon. Well, the woman started serving her “tuna” and thought it smelled funny. She went to her “helper” and the lady pulled the “tuna” cans out of the garbage and they were catfood cans with pictures of fish on them. Oops!

Good thing the elephant pee vat drain is on the other side of the zoo.
