"Eric Goldstein corruptly abused his high-ranking position of trust as a public official and pursued lucrative bribes at the expense of school children, many of whom rely on healthy meals provided by the New York City Department of Education." U.S. Attorney Breon Peace emphasizes the breach of trust in this scandal, highlighting how Goldstein's actions endangered the health of children who depended on nutritious school meals.
"The largest bribe payment was made in the fall of 2016 after the city school system had stopped serving SOMMA's chicken tenders because an employee had choked on a bone in a supposedly boneless chicken tender." This statement from prosecutors illustrates the grave consequences of the bribes, indicating a history of negligence in maintaining food safety standards.
