Correspondent undercover Oreo: Employees sneeze on biscuits with bare hands

Many people have seen this advertisement: twist, twist, bubble, Oreo. For many children, "Oreo" is a delicious brand-name food. Oreo is so good? Will children be pitted like some foods? In order to let the children understand it, the City News reporter decided to visit him on the spot and see if Oreo could stand the “twist” and “bubble”.

Oreo's "home" - Kraft Foods is located in Suzhou Industrial Park. The factory has nearly 30,000 square meters of production workshop, the main products are Oreo, Tandoori, Taiping Combing, Lezhi Danone biscuit series, interesting and easy wafer series and other products. Recently, the reporter successfully employed as a workshop worker here to reveal the truth of Oreo through undercover...

Recruitment agency said "to give money to enter", the basic salary of 1140

On February 22, the reporter went to a spontaneous open-air talent exchange place in the Suzhou Industrial Park. Suzhou was just under a light rain that day. This talent exchange site parks no less than ten vans. All of them are private vans used by professional agencies to transport applicants to various factories, and there are a number of workers waiting to be sent to the factory.

“Are you guys going to Nabisco (a Kraft Foods company's sole-proprietor food company)?” one person, known as Gong, came to the reporter and asked. After Gong total shouted, there were about twenty to thirty workers gathered around Gong, who all wanted to work for Kraft Food.

"Can we get in?" asked a young man, Gong. "Now give me money, 100% package you go in." Gong total mouth promised. At this time, the young man took out 100 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Gong. Then Gong, on a form full of people's names, wrote a word “excellent” in the source of talent.

"First take you to Nabisco for an interview." One staff member said. After a while, a few vans arrived at the scene and everyone was pulled to No. 51 Baiyu Road. The car read "Kraft Foods (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.". At this time, Kraft Foods has gathered a large number of workers ready to enter.

“You entered the factory as a service outsourcing worker. The basic salary is 1140 yuan per month, and 12 hours of work a day. But there are 4 hours of overtime work and overtime pay. The company gives you free meals every day at noon. Eat, but if you finish ten and a half hours a day, everyone has a meal supplement of five dollars. If you feel that the line will stay, go to the physical examination tomorrow, and then come to training." Female salesman said blankly.

"The wages are too low, but there is no way. Their family requirements are relatively low. Other factories can't get in. Let's do it first." A 30-year-old sitting next to the reporter whispered to his friend.

"You can't accept people over the age of 45?" A middle-aged man with a grey hair asked the female salesman. "As long as you can do it on the line, age is not a problem." Female salesman answered.

Sanitary cloud disinfection hand washing disinfection, do not wear masks gloves

Passing through the locker room down to the first floor is to enter the operating room must pass through - Kraft's hand-washing and disinfection room. “Before entering the factory, employees must first wash their hands and disinfect their hands. This requires six steps. First wash hands with hot water, then apply hand sanitizer, then wash off liquid soap with hot water, then dry the hands, and apply the disinfection on the hands. Agent, the final drying, you can enter the factory work.” Workers to participate in GMP (that is, good operating processing specification training), the clerk said so.

However, after the reporter entered the factory, it was discovered that very few people really completed the hand sanitizing process. They simplified this process by half: wash hands with hand sanitizer and then dry directly, apply disinfectant, and then work directly into the factory. The reporter asked an old worker about this, and the worker smiled and said: "You are new! Wash it again."

The reporter noted that in the hand sanitizing room, the company specifically installed two cameras to monitor whether workers wash their hands. According to the trainers, the two cameras can see the workers washing their hands. “Who did not wash their hands, the monitoring staff would see them and you would be fined!” they said when they were training.

There is also a problem that makes reporters quite puzzled. Employees working in the front line of the production line don't wear masks or gloves, and they put the cookies into the box directly with bare hands. Staff also laugh from time to time. People who put cookies in their bags will occasionally have a cough. On the production line that produced the packaging of Oreo Chocolate Biscuits, the reporter saw that a female worker rubbed his hands with a rag after wiping the machine. The rag was originally white. After the machine was wiped, it became oily and almost black. Afterwards, she did not wash her hands and she put barely stacked biscuits that had not been packaged into the concave slot of the packaging machine.

On another line not far from the production and packaging line, a female worker who placed chocolate sandwich cookies suddenly sneered. Afterwards, she rubbed her nose with her hand and immediately went to lay the biscuit again.

An employee puts his work clothes on the ground to change clothes

In the locker room, a sign stands diagonally on the floor: “The uniforms must be washed every day!” The actual situation the reporter saw was that employees who were willing to wash and wash. Some employees' white work clothes have almost turned black.

Some employees even took out their uniforms and put them on the floor after bathing. Then they put their wet feet on the work clothes and changed clothes. Then they picked up the work clothes on the ground and randomly stuffed them with the work shoes. Into the locker, wear it again next time.

Because the air is not circulated, the smell in the locker room is tangy. Although there are two storerooms, the employees’ shoes, socks, and work clothes are not placed separately but are randomly placed together.

The reporter learned that some domestic large-scale food factories stipulate that employees cannot wear work clothes to go to the toilet. If they want to go to the toilet, they must take off their work clothes. For workers in different production processes, the requirements for sanitation and hygiene are different, for example, packers. Access to production areas that are in direct contact with food should not be arbitrarily entered, and high-level hygiene requirements must be implemented if they are to enter.

When reporters received training at Kraft Foods, they did not hear about whether employees could wear work clothes to go to the bathroom. The reporter saw at the factory that even the employees who produced the first line positions were wearing work clothes to go to the toilet.

Management confusion, important workshop casually into

An old employee told the reporter: “This is a very tiring job. There are often people who suddenly do not work and many new employees.” Because of the mobility of workers, new faces appear from time to time, and many workers do not know each other.

This reporter learned from the first day of entering the factory. The first thing that comes to work every day is that the squad leader assigns jobs. One of the most common words the reporter hears is: “You took him to the other side and you brought this little girl to the package.” Even the employees who had been in the factory for more than a week , the squad leader can not name. An employee told reporters in this way: "I have been here for more than a week, and I don't know the monitor."

The reporter once sought the exit of the workshop with two workers and accidentally entered an important workshop where raw materials were stored. Raw materials such as non-hydrogenated shortening were piled here. Workers were counting raw materials, but he did not suddenly enter us. Block it. When reporters entered the mix room, one bag of raw chocolate granules, refined salt and other raw materials were placed on the side of the aisle, and employees who were working did not stop.

In the production areas that are directly in contact with exposed food, porters and boxers are allowed to enter and exit freely. There is no gap between production areas and non-clean areas where cleanliness requirements are high, and there is no restriction on cross-flow among people in the areas.

The reporter saw in the production workshop that some of the workers in charge of transportation were able to shuttle freely between the bare food production lines without being prevented, nor did they implement higher cleaning standards. Due to the large mobility of employees, it is not surprising that there are strange faces in the factory. Unusual employees who walk around in important raw material stores or ingredients do not ask or stop.

The factory has seen a fake ID card. When he is 15 years old, he can work in the factory?

In the factory, the reporter learned that there are both 40-50-year-old workers and 15-year-old children, both mothers working with children and couples.

“Who is yours here? Whoever is here? Stand up!” When the reporters and other new employees are assigned to classes, the person in charge of the assessment training asks. The person in charge also said: "You don't stand up. When I'm splitting up later, don't blame me for tearing you apart. Let's just stand up and try to get you out of the same class as much as possible. Take care."

After explanation, the team of 20 or 30 new employees began to shake, and men and women stood four pairs one after another. The reporter also chatted with one of them. The employee told reporters: "I am after 90 and I don't want to study after graduating from high school. I might as well work out and earn a living!" At this time, the reporter learned that the child born in 1993 was taking his youngest girlfriend. of. After his 90s, he accounted for nearly half of the new recruits. When signing a contract with the outsourcer, the reporter noted that the new employee was born in 1996 and was born in the 1970s.

When the new employee was trained, the conversation between the business staff and an uncle reminded reporters: "Are you not recruiting workers over the age of 45?" A gray-haired uncle asked the business staff.

"We recruit, as long as you can do it, we will, your age does not matter, as long as you think you can do the work of the factory on the line." Salesman answered. However, the uncle still did not seem to understand, and then he asked again: "Then I am 48 years old this year, do you want?"

At this time, the clerk's attitude changed and he shouted, "I just said that. As long as you can do it, we will close. Do you understand?"

While working in the factory, the reporter also learned from some old employees that there are workers around the age of 15 working in this factory. The reporter asked the old staff: “How did they get so young, how did they come in?” The worker said in an understatement: “A fake ID card came in. That thing (fake ID) is not expensive, only 30 yuan. ”

From 7 am to 7 pm, only rest 1 hour

During the undercover employment here, the reporter was really tired. The machine kept non-stop, and people stopped. Everyone had only half an hour to eat at noon. Every day it is claimed to work for eight hours. In fact, it still requires four hours of overtime. This overtime is mandatory. From 7 am to 7 pm, the workers have only a short meal time and a prescribed time to go to the toilet. If the job is vacant, they will be fined.

On the first day after entering the factory, the reporter was assigned to a production line for packaging. The reporter arrived at the locker room before 6:45 in the morning and the locker room was full of coworkers ready to change clothes. After the reporter changed his clothes, he came to the workshop together with other workers to wait for the squad leader to name them.

"You took him to the second line to do the package." The squad pointed at the reporter.

As a result, under the leadership of an old employee, the reporter started a process that he was not familiar with before.

"It's very simple, you just put the cookies on the machine into the box," said the old employee.

"You just do it here. When you eat, someone will come and exchange you." He told reporters.

About 7 o'clock in the morning, the reporter started the repetitive work, boxed, pushed onto the conveyor belt, boxed, pushed onto the conveyor belt...

At noon, an unfamiliar employee came over and asked the reporter: "You haven't eaten yet. I'll exchange for you. It's half an hour. I'll hurry up after eating, or I'll deduct the money."

At this time, the reporter felt that his foot was numb and his waist was not straightened. "It's been a long time and it will be a long time." The old employee who came to the shift told reporters. After the meal, under the supervision of the online chief, the reporter went to the post and began packing.

"Every production line cannot be lacking. If you want to go to the toilet, please tell me first. I'll find someone for you and come back quickly." Heard that the reporter wanted to go to the toilet, the line chief said.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, she finally got off work. A coworker said: "Packing cookies here every day. It's exhausted."

The reporter calculated that within 12 hours of work time, the time for eating and going to the toilet should not exceed one hour.

The warm place cafeteria has free meals to eat as much as how much

"I want a trotter and two tablespoons of rice! You have too little rice." A 20-year-old male employee said to the cafeteria's chef.

"Good! Give you two spoonfuls, eat enough now!" said the chef responsible for Sheng rice. At this time, a sauce trotter had been placed on the man's plate, a large apple and some fried rice noodles.

This is a scene seen by reporters in the staff canteen. In fact, such dialogues are daily. Lunch here is free, lunch is 12 yuan a day standard, amaranth changes every day, there are sauce trotters, braised pork, etc., in view of the reporter, lunch is really good.

"If you can't eat enough meals, you can play as much as you want, how much you can eat, and there is one fruit every day!" This is what trainers say to attract employees.

The reporter remembered that when the trainers said that they worked 12 hours a day and the monthly basic salary was 1,140 yuan, some people thought of leaving and when they heard that they had eaten a good meal, the workers who were supposed to go took another seat and they finally agreed to sign labor. contract. The workers were left behind for free lunch.

On the wall of the cafeteria, there is a list of food additives. The food additives in the cafeteria meals are on the side.
