Woman Charged After Video of Her Child Licking a Tongue Depressor and Placing it Back

A woman was charged with tampering, a felony, after she posted a video of her 10 year old daughter licking a tongue depressor in the doctor's office examination room and then returning it to the same jar.  This comes after last week's ice cream tampering issues when on two different occasions, stupid people opened, licked, and replaced cartons of ice cream.

People Licking Ice Cream and Putting Back in the Display - Food Tampering is a Felony

A Texas youth has been identified for allegedly licking a tub of ice cream and then putting it back in the freezer.  The video of the young woman completing the act went viral.  Adulterating food, which this act is certainly that, is a felony offence that could result in an extensive stay in jail as well as hefty fines.  As a juvenile offender, she is not likely to face charges as an adult, so the penalty will be less severe.

A copycat incident occurred in LA when a 36 year old man also popped open a container of ice cream on the store shelf, licked it, and then placed it back.  The man claims to have then purchased the ice cream.

Time for manufacturers to review their packaging with an eye towards product security.
