@bruno.barrettnews: This woman, because the vendor refused to pay the fee, poured all the bleach into the food.A city worker was seen dumping Clorox into a food vendor's food at her stand in Denver, Colorado. In a video posted by Brenda Melendez, a person does this, then walks off to give the people a ticket. In other cities people will just take the food and give the vendor a ticket, but this wasn' t the case for a Tacolorado Food Vendor. #protectstreetvendors #streetvendors #foodvendor #mexicanamerican#newsCity workers bleach vendors food

The claim within the image that the employee is facing "jail time, termination, and financial compensation" reflects public calls for accountability at the time, but reports indicate the city defended the inspector's actions. The DDPHE did not terminate the employee and reiterated that the action was a necessary safety measure, not a punishment, to ensure the food could not be consumed.

@Butter Cup: 😏 Nope A few seconds of video were enough to ignite outrage across Denver’s food scene: a public health inspector pouring bleach over tubs of limes, pickled onions, guacamole and other food at a popular street taco stand. The stand – Taco Tacolorado – was operating near South Colorado Boulevard and East Evans Avenue on Saturday, November 15, when investigators from the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment arrived. By Monday, the clip was taking off on Instagram, with commenters accusing the city of destroying food and targeting a beloved street taco vendor.
DDPHE is pushing back on that narrative. According to the department, the video captures only a few moments of a months-long effort to bring Taco Tacolorado into compliance with basic food safety rules. Emily Williams, the department’s spokesperson, and Danica Lee, director of Public Health Investigations, say the stand had been operating without a license despite repeated attempts by multiple jurisdictions – the stand has operated from Colorado Springs to Arvada and Lakewood – to educate the operator and provide a path to legal operation.
