A video circulating on social media depicting an employee at a Domino’s restaurant in Japan engaging in unsanitary behavior has sparked widespread concern over hygiene standards in the establishment. In the footage, the employee is seen picking his nose and allegedly wiping his finger on pizza dough.
Responding promptly, Domino’s issued an apology and clarified that the incident occurred after hours, assuring customers that no contaminated dough was used in food preparation. They confirmed disposal of any remaining dough and announced the cessation of operations at the implicated store. Furthermore, they pledged to take appropriate disciplinary action against the employee in accordance with employment regulations, while also considering legal recourse.
