Tainted with spilled salt. Reprimanded, yes. She told her supervisor.
They let the meat be used anyway. It's the supervisor's fault, IMHO, for
not making the decision to toss the meat and start over. Of course, the
supervisor is probably 16.

.....however....the bigger situation IMHO is good 'ol Barney

Gotta agree with you on that one! You don't *arrest* someone for spilling
salt on hamburger meat. You sure as hell don't send a sample off to the
state crime lab. The guys in the lab are probably laughing their asses off
at good ol' Barney.
