A man assumed to be a delivery partner with Zomato, a food delivering company, is caught in a video eating food reportedly meant for delivery, and the video has gone viral on the social media.
The video shows him take out what looks like parcel boxes from the consignment package and consume food meant for delivery. After eating, he closes each of the boxes and keeps it back inside. He finally adjusts the sealing of a smaller packet and prepares to leave.
After the video went viral, many people have expressed their concern over the incident on Twitter.
A Zomato spokesperson has issued a statement regarding the incident, which said “We take these kinds of reports extremely seriously and are investigating possible causes internally. We would however like to iterate that – if this video is authentic, given our multiple communication channels with users, who expect the highest standards from Zomato and highlight the smallest deviations and anomalies to us as soon as they receive their orders, this is an unusual and rare case.”
“Unfortunately, this also highlights a real possibility for tampering with the food, on the way to delivery from a restaurant. We take this very seriously and will soon introduce tamper proof tapes, and other precautionary measures to ensure we safeguard against this. Additionally we will educate our delivery fleet of over 1.5 lakh partners to highlight or escalate any such deviations to us, while also encouraging our users – the custodians of our platform to highlight the smallest anomalies to us,” the statement added.
