A website, World Star Hip Hop, has recently published a video of a Kellogg employee urinating on a running conveyor belt that is used in transporting cereal products inside the company's factory.

The video showed the conveyor belt travelling down to where thousands of loose food flakes are waiting below.

The video was published on the website on Mar. 11, and Kellogg confirmed that the video was really taken in its Tennessee facility in 2014. That long, and still, the offending employee has not been identified by the company.

Could this explain the bacterial contamination of the company's Rice Krispies Treats and other puffed rice products in 2014? A study made on that year revealed that 70 percent of urine samples contained bacteria. Researchers at that time also recorded as much as 33 bacterial types across the study.

"Kellogg's takes this situation very seriously and we were shocked and deeply disappointed by this video that we learned of," a company spokesperson said in a statement.

"We immediately alerted law enforcement authorities and regulators," he added.

The spokesperson confirmed that the video was taken inside their Memphis, Tennessee factory in 2014.

Top executives of Kellogg appeared to be "shocked" after the video was exposed. Didn't they know of this incident beforehand?

Since this incident happened two years ago, any contaminated cereal products of the company would have been consumed by now by thousands of unknowing Kellogg consumers.

Still, Kris Charles, company spokesman, in an email to Dayton Daily News, stated that they are undertaking an investigation of the 2014 incident at the facility where it allegedly took place.

"Food quality is of the utmost importance to Kellogg Company. We are outraged by this completely unacceptable situation, and we will work closely with authorities to prosecute to the full extent of the law," added the spokesperson.
