Photo of Raw Meat and Mayonnaise Left Out In Sun Goes Viral, and Mission Restaurant Hamburger Project Responds

"A Reddit post showed many pounds of ground beef in plastic tubes left on the hot sidewalk along with a huge tub of mayonnaise, outside Hamburger Project."

"The restaurant stated, 'We are aware of a photo circulating that shows ground beef left outside our restaurant on Guerrero Street. This was the result of a delivery driver leaving the product unattended after being unable to access the restaurant.'"

"The original poster commented, 'This was outside for an hour, then later meat was gone and mayo was inside on counter. Not sure where the meat is.'"

"The restaurant added, 'When our team arrived at the restaurant and found the product outside, it was immediately discarded as it was obviously compromised by being on the ground, without proper temperature control.'"

The post received significant negative attention, with over 3,000 downvotes and numerous comments mocking the situation. The restaurant explained that the meat was left unattended by a delivery driver and was discarded upon discovery.
