The operation of the stores has been suspended for investigation, Pizza Hut China said on social media platform Sina Weibo on Wednesday.
记者卧底必胜客后厨
据新京报报道称,自去年以来,新京报记者接到多名必胜客内部员工的爆料,称其存在诸多食品安全问题。今年6、7月,记者应聘进入必胜客北京和谐广场店和魏公村店进行调查。根据调查显示,发现后厨存在多种食品安全问题。
The Beijing News said its reporters received multiple tip-offs from Pizza Hut employees over its food safety problems since last year. The Beijing News reporters then applied for jobs at the two shops to conduct an undercover investigation from late June to early July. According to the investigation, two Pizza Hut restaurants in Beijing - Hexie Square in Fengtai and Weigongcun in Haidian - had various food safety problems.
在后厨工作中,记者称发现篡改过期食品标签属于日常操作,而且又是管理层员工实施,普通员工难以介入。包括牛排、小龙虾、米饭、面食、柠檬等,都被替换了原有的时间标签。而在过期后,这些食材依旧被端上餐桌。
While working, the reporters found that tampering with labels on food expiration dates was something that happened daily. As the "secret work" was carried out by the management staff of the restaurant, it was difficult for ordinary employees to intervene in any way. Whether it was steak, crayfish or sausage pizza toppings, rice and noodles for fried rice and pasta, or even tea and lemons for drinks, none of them were discarded at the prescribed time. These ingredients were still served to customers after their expiration date labels were changed.
此外,按照要求必胜客员工应该每日使用仪器检查烹调油指标,数值异常就要废弃旧油更换新油。不过,记者称烹调油使用近一周,原本清澈的食用油已经变黑,近乎油墨色。
In addition, despite the fact that Pizza Hut employees in Beijing's restaurants use a simple oil gauge to check the quality of cooking oil and they are required to check the cooking oil every day and replace it if there is any abnormality, the undercover investigation found the oil was used for cooking in the kitchen for nearly a week, until the originally clear oil turned an almost ink-like color.
而当检测仪器显示的数值超标后,餐厅经理要求员工将旧油简单过滤后继续使用。足足使用了十天之后,餐厅的管理人员才同意更换新油。
Even when the detected value of the oil was found to be above the limit, the restaurant manager ignored it and asked the staff members to simply filter the oil and use it again. It wasn't until the oil had been used for a full 10 days that the restaurant management would give the order to replace the oil.
两家门店被立案查处
针对媒体曝光的问题,20日上午,北京丰台区市场监管局和海淀区市场监管局执法人员对所管辖的问题必胜客餐厅进行现场检查。目前,两家问题必胜客餐厅均被立案调查并停业整顿。
