Apparently, it isn't too safe to order a blue sno-cone at the Sedgewick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas. Well, now you can't even get one!
Why?
Four people got sick after consuming a blue sno-cone recently. Did you know that the syrup bottle is the same size, shape and color as the degreasing agent the park uses? I don't think one of the employees realized it either.
Somehow, a bottle of degreasing agent was accidentally placed next to the bottle of blue syrup. Instead of reading the bottle, an employee just grabbed it and poured into the sno-cone machine. Fortunately, the patrons who consumed the poisoned sno-cones didn't ingest enough of the toxic degreaser to be seriously injured.
Having been partnered to a chef for the past 5 years, I know how easy it is to put some things in the wrong place ... but why in the world do they keep cleaning products anywhere near a food product that could get contaminated??
I really hope that someone is held responsible for what happened.
