"While the person in the video attempts to throw the frozen ribs against pieces of cardboard on the ground, it bounces off of them repeatedly, putting the raw meat in direct contact with the parking lot concrete. The video also made the rounds on Reddit, where one person claims to have identified the restaurant and reported it to the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health."
"Employee stated that this was a one-time occurrence as there was no room available on the food preparation counter, where they would usually work with the meat, so they were temporarily working outside. When they realized that the meat was falling out of the package and onto the ground, they saw that the meat had become contaminated, and immediately discarded all of the meat. Employee stated that none of the meat seen in the video was cooked or served to the public."
