Yep, There Was Semen In The Yogurt

Yep, There Was Semen In The Yogurt: "


The woman who reported to police last week that the free yogurt sample she received tasted like it had semen in it? Turns out she was right. Police have confirmed that the sample of Greek yogurt was tainted with semen. Results from DNA sample taken from the employee who handed out the sample are still pending. There's something fishy about the free sample story though, according to the police report it doesn't sound like there was an official sampling going on that day.


As KRQE reports:

The woman who filed the complaint said two employees at Sunflower were pointing at her when she was shopping with her daughter last week, according a police report. She said soon after, [the suspect] approached her in the cereal aisle offering up a Greek yogurt sample. The woman tried the yogurt, spit it out, and called police...

...According to the police report, the store manager said she was 'not aware that any of her employees were sampling items on the sales floor' that day.


[The suspect] who has worked at Sunflower Market for more than a year, told police he did hand out the samples to several people. He said he often does that to help boost sales, but denies that he added anything to the yogurt.Whoever contaminated the yogurt could face battery charges and potentially federal food tampering charges.

DNA Links Grocery Clerk In Tainted Yogurt Case

from Consumerist by Ben Popken

Not only was there semen in the yogurt, but DNA testing has linked it with the same pushy grocery clerk who gave the free sample to the shopper who complained about it.
Police have not yet arrested the clerk, as they are still trying to figure out what to charge him with. They would like to slap him with something bigger than a misdemeanor battery charge. The max penalty for that is 6 months in prison. The authorities are trying to see if they can get him on federal food tampering charges.
Since the story came out, other woman have stepped forward to voice concerns that they had been tricked by the same employee into eating contaminated samples.
