FDA investigating graphic video linked to Kellogg factory
March 14
Breakfast cereals maker Kellogg Co said federal regulators are conducting a criminal investigation of a video that surfaced on Friday showing a man filming himself urinating on one of its factory assembly lines.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Criminal Investigation is leading the probe into the video, which was recorded in 2014, company spokeswoman Kris Charles told Reuters in an email on Monday.
The video, uploaded on the website World Star Hip Hop on Friday, shows the man urinating on an assembly line and then panning to a sign with the company's logo.
The company "immediately alerted law enforcement authorities and regulators", after learning of the video on Friday, Charles said. Kellogg is also conducting an internal investigation.

I've done a lot of stupid things in my life, things that I'm glad no one kept a record of. I've never done anything like this. I can't imagine why anyone who had done this would want to post a record of it online.
Good luck conjuring up any sympathy.

hang in there ! 
They're obsessed with determining the race of the culprit and blaming it on a black guy--as if his being black somehow explains it or something. 
a video recording of the shoes he was wearing, and can subpoena the website the video was uploaded to to get his IP address and possibly metadata that might yield info about the kind of phone used to make the recording.
But seriously. As bad as this is, the real reason people shouldn't buy Kellogg's cerals is that they still add BHT to the lining in the box.
BHT, created by the British in the 1920s to preserve lard shipped in from Argentina (10,000 miles away) is banned in most of the developed world and even several developing countries because it's been shown to be a power neurotoxin and carcinogen. That means, of course, that's it's not only been linked to cancer, but to Parkinson's as well.
Until 1980, I believe, they were allowed to add BHT to the cereal itself; since then, they've only added it to the lining. As toxic as it is though, you'd still be getting far more than is safe (which is anything more than a trace).
