Red Lobster Investigating Viral TikTok Video Showing Rodent in Restaurant
Video Has Sparked Outrage Online
A viral TikTok video has captured the attention of Red Lobster and led to an official investigation. The video, which was posted on the social media platform on Feb. 14, shows a rodent running across a shelf in the kitchen of a Red Lobster restaurant. The video has sparked outrage online, with many viewers expressing concern about the cleanliness of the establishment.
Red Lobster Releases Statement
In a statement to TMZ, Red Lobster said that it is "aware of the video and are taking the matter very seriously." The company said that it has launched an investigation into the incident and has taken immediate steps to address the issue. Red Lobster also said that it is committed to providing a clean and safe dining environment for its guests.
Health Concerns Raised
The video has raised concerns about the health risks associated with rodents in restaurants. Rodents can carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans, such as salmonella and E. coli. These diseases can cause a variety of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Red Lobster's History of Health Violations
This is not the first time that Red Lobster has been cited for health violations. In 2019, the company was cited by the New York City Department of Health for multiple violations, including the presence of rodents in the kitchen. The company was also cited for failing to maintain a clean and sanitary establishment.
Consumers Advised to Be Cautious
Until Red Lobster completes its investigation and takes the necessary steps to address the issue, consumers are advised to be cautious when dining at the restaurant. If you see any signs of rodents or other pests, it is best to avoid eating there.
