Andrew Harrer | Bloomberg Smithfield Foods sign outside of the company's Smithfield headquarters, on June 29, 2016.
An investigation in underway at Smithfield Foods after a video emerged showing an employee at the factory urinating on the factory line resulting in the company discarding 50,000 pigs.
In the video, published on the WAVY website, you can see the employee removing his gloves and then leaning up against the counter and relieving himself onto the production line, then put his gloves back on and continue working.
The company confirmed they then had to discard 50,000 pounds of meat after a preliminary investigation is being held to television station WTKR.
WAVY was in contact throughout the day by the USDA, and were told that the Food Safety and Inspection Service were looking into the matter and will determine any future actions.
Want your pork seasoned with urine before it leaves the factory? If not then it might be time to give up meat and stop supporting the factory farming industry.
