Factory causes a stink after staff pictured sticking their FEET into giant piles of noodles - PHOTO

One staff member at the factory in Dongguan City was even pictured taking a nap on piles of noodles before the snack was packed and sent off to customers.The plant, called the Tongcheng Rice Noodle Factory, was involved in a similar hygiene scandal last year when owners promised to clean up their act.A spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration said: 'Undercover photographs taken in the rice products factory show plain clothes employees kicking around piles of noodles on the floor with their bare feet.'They are trampling over them as they walk about and even laying down to take their afternoon naps before packaging them up and shipping them to stores.'We will not tolerate such breaches of the health and hygiene laws.'One of the online comments posted underneath the images read: 'It’s shocking and hard to believe these pictures.''Let us call it stinky feet rice noodles forever,' said another, while a third added: 'It is disgusting to think we have eaten so much rice noodle before from this company. We will never eat them again!'Dongguan Food and Drug Administration said the pictures were taken before the Chinese Spring Festival on January 31 and officials have shut it down while stringent health checks are carried out.The operators face heavy fines and possible prison sentences for contravening basic codes of hygiene.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
