A lawsuit by a former longtime Publix employee claims she was discriminated against, physically assaulted, then fired after she pointed out food safety violations in the store’s meat department.
Tracy Aiken’s lawsuit, filed in Leon County Circuit Court on April 29, says she saw other employees at Publix’s Southwood Village store in Tallahassee changing the sell-by dates to keep meat products such as Porterhouse steaks and pre-packaged chicken products on the shelves too long. Also, she says she saw meat trimmings improperly labeled as “ground chuck.”
Aiken also claims some co-workers didn’t clean the meat cutter when it was used for different meats, a violation of federal code that can lead to food-borne illnesses.
